Title: M4a files don't show up Post by: mightyhiro14(at)yahoo.com on February 01, 2006, 08:01:05 AM I imported my cd collection using itunes, so most of my digital music is in M4a format. When I put the music files into my 442 they don't show up under the audio player. It doesn't say unsupportable or anything like that. The folders are there, the files are not. Under file management I can find the actual music files, but they still do not play. Can this be fixed without converting my entire collection? If not, what is the best way to convert all of my files?

The only audio formats currently supported are MP3/ADPCM/WMA/AAC-LC Title: Re: M4a files don't show up Post by: mightyhiro14(at)yahoo.com on February 02, 2006, 04:51:23 PM Are there plans to eventually support that format as well?

I imagine like most things we won't see support until 442v2 comes out. Title: Re: M4a files don't show up Post by: mightyhiro14(at)yahoo.com on February 02, 2006, 10:03:22 PM Is there an easy way to convert my library so that the 442 will play all of my files?

Title: Re: M4a files don't show up Post by: Sottilde on February 04, 2006, 04:03:16 PM That's far from easy. If the m4a's have DRM on them, there's a program for that. I know what it is but the name just escapes me right now. It's four letters. Hrmmmmm....
If they don't, just right click on the songs and hit convert to MP3 from inside iTunes. ------Order #9082 :D Title: Re: M4a files don't show up Post by: Gunderstorm on February 06, 2006, 08:57:11 AM quote: I know. Sucks, doesn't it? quote: I've looked over the shoulders of a couple of iTunes users (I'm not one of them), and when they right-click on a track the only "Convert" option available is "to AAC". Do you have a special plug-in installed or something that lets you convert tracks to MP3?
