<p> <br />Please <em>extract</em> all the three files, the program <code>qaac.exe</code> plus its DLLs <code>libsoxr.dll</code> and <code>libsoxconvolver.dll</code>, into the LameXP installation directory. That is the directory where your LameXP executable file, i.e. the <code>LameXP.exe</code>, is located.</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> By default, the LameXP installation directory is either <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\MuldeR\LameXP</code> or <code>C:\Program Files\MuldeR\LameXP</code>. However, this can be changed by the user during the setup process.</p>
<p> <br />Since you usually do <strong>not</strong> want to <em>install</em> the complete QuickTime (or iTunes) software on your computer, please only <em>download</em> the QuickTime (or iTunes) setup package, but do <strong>not</strong> actually <em>run</em> the installer!</p>
<p>Instead, open the QuickTimer setup program, i.e. <code>QuickTimeInstaller.exe</code>, with your favourite file archive software (we recommend using <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a> or <a href="http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm">WinRAR</a>) and <em>extract</em> the required <code>AppleApplicationSupport.msi</code> package.</p>

Getting the Apple/QuickTime AAC encoder ready involves *two* separate steps: In the first place we will install the QAAC encoder, and in the second place we will install the Apple AAC encoder libraries.
+
#### Install QAAC Encoder ####
First of all, you need to download the [QAAC](https://github.com/nu774/qaac) application, which provides a CLI font-end to the Apple/QuickTime AAC encoder. QAAC is provided as an *Add-in* for LameXP and is available from the following locations:
Now open the downloaded ZIP file, e.g. ``LameXP.qaac-addin.yyyy-mm-dd.zip``, with your favourite file archive software (we recommend using [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or [WinRAR](http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm)) to find the required QAAC program files.
-*Note:* The LameXP software generally expects the **latest** version of the QAAC add-in; and the QAAC add-in is designed to work with the **latest** version of the LameXP software.

+
#### Install Apple AAC Encoder Libraries ####
Next, the actual Apple/QuickTime AAC encoder libraries, which are part of the so-called "Apple Application Support" package, need to be installed on your computer. QAAC can *not* work without these libraries!
+
+After the "Apple Application Support" setup package has been extracted, launch the installer by double-clicking on the ``AppleApplicationSupport.msi`` file and follow the installer's instructions.
+
+
+
+
+Once the QAAC encoder as well as the Apple AAC encoder libraries ("Apple Application Support") have been installed properly, simply *restart* LameXP in order to enable the AAC encoding support!
