MP4 files don't play back correctly with MC10 -- are they supposed to work? When I try, the tracks skip and don't sound the same as when played through the iTunes software.
-
You might try posting in the iPod thread where more people know about mp4.
It should work. If it's skipping, I wonder if something iTunes-ish is interfering.
-
I dunno... MusicMatch and Napster tracks work well.
-
For what it's worth (probably not much ;)), I have several iTunes purchased songs in my daily playlists, and they all playback fine on my system. <shrug>

Chaznet,
How long are your filenames? My guess is more than 50 characters which is a limit for Quicktime which is what we use for playback. Try shortening the name for a file that does not play and see if this fixes your playback issue.

Heh.... it's chaznet that's having the problem, not me. ;) :P
Out of curiosity, though, do you mean the base filename, or the complete pathname? I don't have any filenames that are that long, but all my complete pathnames are longer than 50 characters--again, I have no problems playing the files in MC though.

Omni,
I mean the base filename.
Just reply 'return to sender' if I get the wrong name again. :D
