Thread: Rhythmbox .m4a format not recognised in Nokia etc

i've moved on mint, had been ubuntu 2 years. have dual boot linux , vista, although use linux 80-90% of time.

consequently, music mix of .aac , .wma.

however, have noticed of music doesn't play on wmp or nokia n95 or creative zen - of should play aac files. noticed in particular files i'd recorded in linux (using rhythmbox - purely because sound juices stopped letting me rip cds reason!)

anyway, wondered if had same problem. im not concerned not being able play in windows, if can't play in nokia or creative, shame.

in future, double check recordings in portables before rip more cds, if there way can 'repair' existing library?

incidently, plays fine in rhythmbox - there no problem.

thanks

i don't have direct answer, can't play .m4a files in wmp on xp machine- , m4a files came either downloading music itunes, or ripping cd's in itunes, neither of i'll anymore.

now, being said, should audio format converter- can turn m4a's mp3's or whatever preferred format is.

have fun...
