Mac m4a files.

Hi All,

New here - can't seem to get Media Jukebox to play Mac files.

Is it me?

Does it show any error message?

Apple uses the m4a filename extension for indicating unprotected MP4 audio files that contain either AAC or Apple Lossless encoded audio. Assuming the files are really in the m4a format MJ12 should be able to play them if the system has a suitable codec installed.

You could try to install the "DC-Bass Source" DirectShow filter: http://www.dsp-worx.de/?n=15
It adds support for AAC and ALAC (=Apple Lossless).
