A workaround could be to use html5's native audio player within livecodes browser to stream the m4a files http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.asp On 14 Aug 2016 4:53 am, "Scott Rossi" wrote: > >> I'm sure you're right. I'll tell him, but he's got the final say. > >

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7

Well, clearly you have more knowledge here… of course it's assumed that Jacque's people must have the original source files (one hopes they do) in a lossless format. Setting aside blindspots on the true nature of m4a.. I thought the focus was on file size and cross platform deliverability of

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7

OK hold on a minute. I sense some inaccurate reporting here time for me to step in... if one is comparing m4a to mp3, we have apples and oranges here. Comparing by rate numbers doesn't take into consideration the efficiency of m4a. It's not just for 'audiophiles' - that's a misconception.

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7

ditto what Scott said. I've processed vocal audio every week for the last 15 years… We have had this m4a vs mp3 discussion in house for years… the m4a man typically is an audiophile that uses settings that are entirely unnecessary for average listener (we do a lot of voice)… sure, if it were

Just minutes ago I converted 2GB of audio (mono voice) coming into Audition at 44100 Hz/32-bit to 16000hz/24bit CBR and got the whole repository down to 250MB! And I tested on discriminating ears here and they cannot hear *any* significant difference. BR On 8/13/16, 10:33 AM, "use-livecode

Re: Play m4a files on Windows 7

There's another factor to your advantage here, if the majority of your content is voice. Voice is WAY more forgiving of high compression than music, so I would say you're good choosing a different format rather than jumping through hoops trying to accommodate m4a. Save yourself some headache.
