M4A files

[Krieg]

What the heck , I downloaded the third album which contains m4a files.It looks like windows media player doesn't support this and so I can't listen to it with windows mediaplayer.Any other players which do support m4a files ??


I hope this isn't going to be a new hype , m4a files <.<

MPEG-4 Part 14, formally, ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003, is a multimedia container format standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. It is most commonly used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those defined by MPEG, but also can be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, MPEG-4 Part 14 allows streaming over the Internet. The official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, thus the container format is often referred to simply as MP4. Devices that play .mp4 files are referred to as MP4 players.

First result.

Just open it with Quicktime player, ignore Darknight. If you don't already have it, I recommend it, it provides good compression for video and audio.

Link is here.

Just one thing though, download just Quicktime, not Quicktime + iTunes package, as iTunes is phailage.

If you want, I can give you t3h s3rial to upgrade Quicktime Standard to Pro.

Codecs are better, let's you play them with your selected player, instead of some crap player... I didn't honestly think any one used Quicktime for anything other then watching .mov's... lol.

Yes, but the compression in .movs is so good, so it's worth it.

Get Sorenson Squeeze and you'll see how good it can be, if you configure it properly.

'if you configure it properly' can imply a lot of different things when you're working with compression...
