Nero AAC codec file went offline

Hi. I've seen that the Nero AAC codec file from ftp6.nero.com went offline. You use it in some scripts. BR, Björn

I've managed to install it on Xubuntu 20.04 with (some of) these steps:

$ mkdir AAC
$ cd AAC/
$ wget http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip
$ unzip -j NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip
$ sudo install -m 0755 neroAacEnc /usr/bin/

... except the wget from that source doesn't work anymore, I had to download the zip from another source, e.g.: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-CD-Rippers-Encoders/Nero-Digital-Audio.shtml (page says the version is 1.5.4.0 but the zip is still named NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip).

Restarted Selene and it detected NeroAAC and used it just fine.

You can also use https://web.archive.org/web/20170610150750/http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip as seen from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neroaacenc-bin
