I'm not sure if the common suffix or an AAC file is .acc or .aac,
but If i rename it to .aac i get:

$ mv 04_probe_error.mp3 04_probe_error.aac
$ audacious 04_probe_error.aac 
aac: No valid frame header found.
#error

Not a bug. Don't give your AAC files "mp3" extensions.

#3 Updated by John Lindgren about 10 years ago

By the way, the correct suffix for AAC in an MPEG-4 container is "mp4" or "m4a". "aac" is for raw AAC files/streams.
