All of the aac files can be played flawlessly with both players that I use (AIMP on Windows and jetAudio on Adroid), and can be opened and edited with Audacity. So the files seem ok to me.

Please provide one or two non-silent sample files, use a file hoster of your choice that does not need a login or attach them if small enough.
