M4a Files (What are these?)
« on: August 18, 2006, 11:30:52 am »
I downloaded the Best of APO and the Nyoy Volante albums from this forum, and I got M4a files.  My computer couldn't recognize them (and neither do I).  What are M4a files, anyway, and how do I play them?

Files in .M4A format are actually the audio layer of (non-video) MPEG 4 movies. M4A is slated to become the new standard for audio file compression. This format is also known as Apple Lossless, Apple Lossless Encoder, or ALE. It is a new codec designed to provide lossless encoding in less storage space.

try itunes. pwede kasi sa ipod yan. or if not, find a codec for this. usually divx player makakaplay din n2 since it can play mp4.

Can anybody suggest a good program for conversion? Wala akong makita eh. If I know the title of the software, it may be easier to search.
