First: apologies.  There have been countless posts dealing with m4a
issues, but the forum search isn't recognising 'm4a' (or mp4).

Does anyone still have a link to a (the?) thread describing how to play
m4a files?

Received an m4a file from a performer's website sign-up, and SBS
recognises it as an m4a file, recognises performer name, song title,
picture, and the lyrics (which surprised me) and reports the file as
being:

File format: mp4

Bitrate: 256kbps CBR (Converted to 705.6kbps ABR)

Sample size: 16 bit

But my SBR plays no sound - though its LED is showing bright white (it
is receiving) and the SBS web UI shows the track being played - ie, the
time-bar moves onwards.

In SBS, the file type settings for MP4 are:

AAC - Native
FLAC - faad/flac
MP3 - faad/lame
PCM - faad

Neither, incidentally, does Squeezeplay play the track, on a (wired)
windows PC.

I think I recall seeing something about inserting a transcode in a
convert.conf file in previous threads.  Could anyone point me to a
relevant thread or, maybe, some instructions?

And sorry for asking about something which I think is already solved, if
I could only find it.

regards, Atlantic
