Congratulations to the developers on another great release!

I didn\'t know whether to call this a feature or a bug, so I decided to
err on the side of caution...

Using Amarok 1.2 Beta with Xine as the Playback Engine under KDE 3.3
on Mandrake 10.1, I am having difficulty getting Amarok to recognize
the .m4a extension used by iTunes. Note: these are not DRMed songs
purchased from the iTunes music store, they are files that I ripped from
CD. If I change the extension to .mp4, Amarok will recognize and play
the files, but it cannot read the meta tag information. I have verified that
the .m4a extension is properly registered as a MIME type; clicking on a
m4a file in Konqueror loads Amarok, but it just gives a \"Some URLS
cannot be loaded error message\".

I know that this is a question that has been asked before, but are
developers planning on supporting loading of m4a or aac files (mp4s
seem to load as is) and the meta-tag information accompanying these
files? Is there something obvious that I have missed in getting this to
work under Amarok.

I am eagerly awaiting your reply. Thank you for taking the time to read
this post.

I\'d like to second this feature request. My collection is increasing in M4A files, and I would really love to be able to treat them like mp3s -- meta tag editing, playback, etc.

This is the only thing for me holding amaroK back from being near-perfect.

Thanks!

playback should already work fine.

file bugs for taglib if you would like other metadata support!!!

Heh, don\'t say that seb. I\'m sure the bugs already exist. Regardless it appears to be a problem being worked on (allowing taglib to take plugins).
