AACPlus (a.k.a. AAC+) is LC-AAC + SBR (Spectral Band Replication) and aacPlus v2 means LC-AAC + SBR (Spectral Band Replication) + PS (Parametric Stereo). Standard LC-AAC decoders can decode aacPlus encoded files/streams but without SBR and PS you do not get the full quality.

- MP3PRO that also uses SBR.
- MPEG Surround that can used for all audio but especially MP3/mp3PRO and AAC/aacPlus. MPEG Surround technology share similar characteristics with SBR (Spectral Band Replication) and PS (Parametric Stereo), which MP3PRO and AAC+ decoders also use. DivX Inc. is one company that uses MPEG Surround technology to achieve 5.1 channel surround sound in smaller files.
