Hello Chris/James,

I've got some 96k M4A audio files and they don't play!
The manual says that this is a supported format.
The progress bar in MAX is saying that the music is playing as I see it advancing but I hear no music?
I can send a sample if required.

Any comments?

Thanks,
Terry

Hi Terry

I have not used M4A  hi res so we will have to look at that. Flac, AIFF and Wave is what I recommend with the BDP.

I appreciate that James, but that's how the music came!
I tried converting to flac using dbPowerAmp but just ended up with a hissing noise when I played the flac files.

M4A files are Apple Lossless or the lossy AAC files.  These 96k files are likely Apple Lossless (although you might be accidentally stating 96k as the bitrate, in which case they are mp3-like low rez 96k AAC files, like found in early itunes downloads).  I'd convert to AIFF if I were you, regardless (unless they are truly older iTunes store downloads..then they won't play outside iTunes anyway).

Also, platting is not a BDP-1 strength.    (just kidding, but your title needs a typo fix).

Thanks Ted - I was not aware of that.
