Hello, does anyone know why I can't play M4A files?
I know there is a thread from a few years ago about playing M4A files, but the advice there is to install Quicktime. And since then, from what I can tell, there basically IS no more current Quicktime install. If you go to Apple's Quicktime site, they say
"QuickTime 7 for Windows is no longer supported by Apple. New versions of Windows since 2009 have included support for the key media formats, such as H.264 and AAC, that QuickTime 7 enabled. All current Windows web browsers support video without the need for browser plug-ins. "
I actually had Quicktime on my old laptop, and Nightingale couldn't play many M4A files. It seems like it isn't the most popular format but I'm seeing more of it recently. Any thoughts on how to make it work in the post-Quicktime era?
