AAC Encoders?

[D3Seeker]

So I feel a little silly asking this but.

 

I was wondering if anyone has been able to achieve gapless playback with AAC files encoded and tagged with anything other than iTunes?

 

So far I have seen where it's mentioned that Poweramp uses on the atoms style tagging used in said software, however it appears that they also must be encoded directly with itunes as well   which is extremely  limited in options.

 

I have been using the nero AAC encoder through foobar2000 (nero and itune aac files being the only one to support gapless themselves {since last I've read anyway}) but...

 

creating them via foobar >wiping the tag>import to itunes>tag= has noticeably reduced the gaps between songs but that's it.
