Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee cannot play m4a files

["Michael Stroh" <mstroh acm org>]

Well, basically I have openSuse 10.3 and I connected my iPod with about 800 songs. Banshee sucked them all up into my home  directory. So almost all these files are m4a and only a few are mp3 files. The mp3 files play okay but the m4a files don't play at all

Are you saying that Bansahee doesn't support this m4a format at all??

That's pretty old...I'm sure there are packages now that provide the
support (because I've used them!).  I just can't remember exactly
which package provides them.  ;-)  Probably gstreamer0.10-bad or
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.
