Title: MP4 (m4a Apple Lossless) Support
Post by: mlTunes on July 30, 2010, 10:59:43 am

Unfortunately I removed v14 before noticing how I had configured it to play Apple Lossless files (m4a) in v15. I have renabled that by going to Tools - Options - File Types and associating AAC Audio with with

1. QuickTime - worked fine
or
2. JRiver Audio engine (using DirectShow filter)
    Source Filter (DC-Bass Source)
    Other Filters: JRiver Bitrate Monitor filter

My question is which of these methods or some other are what I should be doing in v15. The instructions to download the DC-Bass Source mention only v12.

Thanks.

It's much better to use DirectShow.  When you use QT, MC can't do everything it can when using DS.

Thanks DC-Bass Source still the filter of choice to use?

As far as I know, yes.
