m4a files not playing

Postby waitek » Sun Feb 08, 2009 9:07 pm

MP3 files are playing fine. But I'm not having any luck with m4a files ripped as lossless files in iTunes.

I'm running a default Windows 3.6 install of Subsonic (downloaded Feb. 8).

Settings > Transcoding shows m4a > mp3 is enabled. Here are the specifics:
m4a > mp3
convert from m4a
convert to mp3
step 1: faad -w %s
step 2: lame -b %b -x - -
default: checked
enabled: checked

I'm using the web player. The m4a > mp3 for the player is checked as active.

The files show up fine. However, clicking the links doesn't lead to audible results.

After additional research, it appears the problem is the Apple lossless format. There must be a transcoding solution, but I haven't found anything yet that works with Subsonic. Anyone else have any luck?
