[SOLVED] Playing m4a [MPEG4 AAC] files

I am having trouble playing an m4a file.  Quod libet say it does not know what to do with them and totem tells me I need to install MPEG4 AAC demuxer plugin.
I have faad2 and gstreamer0.10-faad installed.  Are these not the right gstreamer components?

I figured this out finally.  I just had to reinstall gstreamer0.10- good and bad.  Resulted from deleting files to fix the clash described on this post:

  • Cannot play Protected AAC files on my iPhone 5

    I purchased a new iPhone 5 and have synced my music to it. However any purchased AAC files that are in iTunes will not play on my iPhone. They show up and when I try to play it will just skip to the next song it can play that is not the protected AAC file format. Purchased AAC files play fine. It is the Protected AAC which you find in the "kind" column. The new iPhone 5 is obviously running iOS 6.
    I have an iPad 2 that is also running iOS 6 and it plays those Protected AAC files just fine.
    Does this have something to do with the iPhone is not authorized? I had an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I upgraded from. I sold the iPhone 4 so when I did I went into my account in iTunes and managed devices and removed the iPhone 4. I set up the iPhone 5 and put in my Apple ID, shouldn't it automatically authorize the phone to play these purchased songs? One interesting thing is if I look at my managed devices now in iTunes it says an iPhone 4S is associated with my apple ID. I've never had a 4S and the date it says the 4S was associated is the date I got my iPhone 5.
    How can I play these files on my iPhone 5?

    I'm having the exact problem with a track purchase on iTunes.  Works fine on my 3rd gen iPad, but recently was dropped from my iPod touch (pre and post IOS 6).

  • Protected AAC files won't play on authorized computer

    I have a two year old computer with iTunes 10 that plays both Purchased AAC and Protected AAC songs fine.
    I just moved my iTunes files to a new computer with iTunes 10 and authorized the computer.  It will play Purchased AAC songs fine, but when I try to play a Protected AAC file it says I have to authorize the computer.  When I do that again, it says that the computer is already authorized and that I have authorized 4 of my possible 5 computers.  But when I try again to play the Protected AAC song, it does the same thing all over again.
    Why can't I play music I have already paid for on one of my "authorized" computers?

    Your post is more informative than any of the punks at the apple store and the email-only (!!!) itunes support they refered me to. Basically, my wife is having the same issue with her old library. She has an old @aol.com as the "user name". When I try to play one of these old songs (that I copied from her old laptop onto my desktop for a consolidated, shared library) I get that pop up, "This computer is not authorized to play "[song title]". Would you like to authorize it?" The 'Apple ID' auto populates with [heremail]@aol.com. You mentioned that you used your name and also your apple ID. What is the difference, and how can I enter it differently in the pop-up? I have tried manually typing in her (maiden) name, with and without a space, also the [heremail] without the @aol.com, then entering the password that we know of, and still nothing.
    Sorry to bring up old issues, but I could really use the help. She has over 2000 purchased songs and they can't be played on anything but the ipod that hasn't been synced in years.
    Also, when I log into her old iTunes account in the iTunes store, there are only about a dozen songs in the Purchased section. ***??? This makes me think there is a real issue with the iTunes system.
    Like I said, apple was ZERO help with this. The emails that we received were sent to us by a person who probably bangs her head against brick walls for fun.
    Also, I have set all the permissions to the folders and files so both her and my login have read/write.
    Thanks in advance.

  • QuickTime wont play my mpeg4 movies

    I just got a new Sony DSC-T99 Cypbershot camera. the "HD" video files that I've been taking will not play in quicktime. I import them through iPhoto, then when I double click the video I get the following message. "Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page." Then it will play the audio but the screen is black.
    the files are .mp4. I think 1280 x 720.
    I tried importing through iMovie '09 and was also unsuccessful.
    Any suggestions... I dont want to have to convert files everytime I want to watch a video I recorded.
    thanks,
    jake

    If I wanted to post a sample of the video, how would I do that?
    If the file is smaller than your ISP/Mail client limit, email it. If larger and your ISP includes adequate free storage space post it there. If you have a MobileMe account, post it to your Public folder. If you don't have commercial online storage space available, check into site offering free temporary storage for the purpose of posting/distributing files. (Unfortunately, I don't use the latter, and so cannot suggest any by name for you.)_ If all else fails, email me and I will see about setting up a temporary password for you to post it my account area.
    I am told thh file is MPEG-4, AVC/H.264, Approx. 30 fps, Progressive, AAC, mp4 format. they couldn't tell me the exact data compression. I was however, able to watch the file using the VLC media player. Does that help?
    Not really. Information available online already indicated the 1920x1080 mode employed AVCHD (format developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic which was designed for Blu-ray disc compatibility) and the 1280x720 mode using MPEG-4. Since you were not 100% sure about the mode and did not indicate if your attempt to import via iMovie was done directly from the camera (calls special different import modules) or from iPhoto via the Finder (a simple Move/Copy operation) we still do not have the total picture. I would however, lean more towards it being an MPEG4/AAC file in an MP4 file container requiring an add-on video component. Nor have you indicated whether or not you have the Perian component package installed which might be able to handle the video data.

  • How to get Music Player to play AAC files and show...

    I feel the need, the need to share my recent experiences with you! Firstly to restate the already known facts: The Nokia Audio Manager in PC Suite is incapable of reading any tags as far as I have seen, from a tag (AAC/MP3) or from a CD itself and it crashes on my pc after sending 2 albums to my phone or on initialising once the phone has 2 albums already on it - so I've binned that. iTunes creates .m4a files which are AAC files but in mp4 containers with mp4 tags. The N70 will play AAC files and read ID3 tags up to v2.3 Here's how to get musak on your N70 with tags and artwork. 1. get yourself copies of dbpoweramp 11.5, their AAC codec (the Release 5 one) and The Godfather and install them 2. Go into the dbpoweramp config, select the ID tag tab and change the tag to ID3V2 for AAC. check the version field is set to v2.3 3. Use Poweramp's CD Input to rip a CD (you can specify under options to use AAC (Advanced Audio Coding (CLI)), you can custom the folder/filenames and set the bitrate (I use 100 BVR which creates files about the same size as MP3) 3.5. Rename any file that has an apostrohpe in the filename - removing the apostrophe - as the Music player will not read the tag 4. Go onto Amazon.com, find your CD and save the artwork image to your PC (create a folder for artwork) 5. Run The Godfather, select the folder containing the ripped album, click on the 'TAG' button, tick the picture box and click the button to it's right and browse for the .jpg file you just downloaded. then click on Update which will bring up the edit dialog, check that the picture is visible at bottom right and is ticked and then click 'Update All', then 'Sync' and then 'Exit'. Finally, click on the 'Apply' button 6. Transfer the folder to your My Music folder on the MMC 7. Run the Music Player and select Options-Update Collection 8. Now go into Albums and you should see your album title. Click on it and you should see all tracks. Click on a track and you should see, in the playing window, the artist & track and the artwork too. It has taken me weeks to get this far but for me, it is worth it. I hope this system works for you too Regards, Brian.

    It sounds like a dud program.   I would remove it (highlight its icon, then Options -> Remove).  If you don't see a remove option, look for the program in the Application Manager.

  • MPD won't play AAC files from Streamripper

    I'm having some problems playing AAC files created by streamripper.  The files play just fine in Mplayer. This is the output I get in .mpd/log:
    faad: error decoding AAC stream: Invalid number of channels
    After googling I got the impression this might be a DRM issue.  I'm ripping a service I'm paying for (I only like about 80% of the music so I want to be able to skip tracks), so this seemed likely. On #mpd I was informed that mplayer wouldn't have played these files if they were DRM protected, so I've abandoned this line of investigation.
    If I try to run one of these files through faad I get:
    Error: Bitstream value not allowed by specification
    Is this fixable?

    arutemus wrote:
    It seems you just need to rebuild your mdp package, because mpd supports AAC via ffmpeg but  new ffmpeg libs released yesteraday and you still have mpd built for old ffmpeg's libs.
    Use ABS for this and if all will be ok then report bug.
    I have the same problem from yesterday but with the moc  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31743
    Doesn't the log message indicate that MPD uses faad to decode AAC file and not ffmpeg? A new version of MPD came right out after your post; it did not solve my problem.  For now I'm manually converting the files from AAC to ogg in order to play them, using the latest version of ffmpeg.

  • Help!!! - Protected AAC files do not play on any of my iPods

    Since ten days ago both my iPods (Video 60GB and Photo 40GB) are not capable anymore to play iTMS purchased music. The music plays fine on iTunes (Windows, last version), is correctly copied on both the iPods (both updated to the last version of iPod software) but when I try to play any of the Protected AAC file kind the iPods just shows the Cover and skips to the next songs.
    The bad thing is that is happening on any Protected AAC file i try to play on any of the iPods and we are talking about 527 songs, for a total more than 500 euros. THAT'S BAD!!!
    I've tryed everything, re-flashed the iPods with the last iPod Updater (any hint on where to find the 2005 version?), reinstalled iTunes on both the PCs I've at home, deauthorized and re-authorized the iTMS account, deleted all the music from the iPod and loaded back again, no light at all...
    I've contacted the iTMS support, they have deauthorized all my PCs, I've authorized them back but nothing. After four email they passed me to the Tech iPod support.
    I've called them, on the Video I've also the AppleCare, we tryed everything, also formatting the iPod via the Operating System, but no luck.
    At the end they have said that is a problem with the FairPlay authorization and brought me back to the iTMS support.
    I wrote them again, explaining all the situation and giving them the SR number and this is what I got as an answer:
    "have escalated the issue you reported, and you will receive an email message once we have a resolution. Thank you for your patience as we work to make your experience with the iTunes Music Store more enjoyable."
    No timeline, no explanation at all.
    Obviusly all the other functionalities of the iPods are working fine and all the Protected AAC files plays fine on iTunes, but nothing on the iPods.
    I've also tryed to buy a couple on new songs from iTunes but also these do not play on any of the iPods.
    From the tech support side, seems I'm the only one to have this problem in the world. From my point of view this could be a FairPlay keys problem but the result is that I cannot play any of the music I've bought.
    Does anybody had this kind of problem or some hints to save the day?

    Have an happy life.
    MB from Italy

    Nobody replyed to my message but I think that knowing the solution can be helpful for someone in the future.
    I've made some extensive testing.
    To me the problem has appeared when I've update both the iPod to the last iPod software version, 1.1.1 for the Video and 1.2.1 for the Photo.
    At that time I was using the iTunes for Windows version 6.0.4
    Thanks to the hint of a user on the iLounge forum (www.ilounge.com), the problem was related to the versions combination between iTunes for Windows and the iPod Software.
    Today I've tried all the version of iTunes form the 6.0.0 to the 6.0.4 (thanks to File Hippo) and the only one that works is the 6.0.0
    The problem seems solved on both the iPods, obviously I've notified Apple of the temporary solution and I really hope that someone will take care of this one.

  • Cannot play m4a files

    I installed gnome music (had installed it already but reinstalled my system) and now it cannot play m4a files. I dont know why before i reinstalled arch it had played them?
    Does anyone know  a package i have to install, i cannot remeber if i did so.

    I'm sure you've found a solution by now, and I'm not sure if this will help?! Have you tried (with TAG editor) to change the the format from "UNKNOWN" to "Audio MPEG-4 AAC LC" ?

  • AAC files from iTunes 7 won't play on third party player

    I use my Sony Ericsson W900i as my main digital audio player, and since i have upgraded to iTunes 7 i have found that any file that i have imported or converted into the standard (128Kbps) AAC format (and then transferred) will not play on my W900i. However, my W900i has no problem playing AAC files encoded with any previous versions of iTunes.
    Can anyone tell me the possible reasons for this (is it to do with gapless palyback?) and let me know if there is any way of solving this problem.
    Thanks
    Compaq Presario   Windows XP  

    Thanks, Kay. Here's what I found after trying your suggestions:
    First, I was using CD-R, and I know that's important.
    Second, I double checked and yes, I was burning to AudioCD.
    Third, I tried new CD-R media, et voilla!, it worked (first media was Maxell CD-R Music CD, and what worked was Sony CD-R). But here's the catch. Before upgrading to iTunes 5, CDs I had burned using the Maxell CD-R Music CDs worked fine in the player (still do). Now they don't. What could possibly cause that behavior? I thought a CD-R was pretty much a CD-R, and further, that the software should work pretty much the same re: how it burns to different media, even after an upgrade. Guess I'm wrong on at least one account.
    BTW, I don't want to blame iTunes 5 as I don't know for sure, but I have had lots of crashes and kernal panics since upgrading...

  • All protected AAC files (older purchases) stop playing after a handful of seconds following iTunes update

    So I just noticed that after upgrading iTunes to v10.6.1(7) every single older protected AAC files QUITS playing after a certain number of seconds.  The exact time interval depends on the album, but without fail, they all quit.  I recently upgraded to lion after a fresh install of snow leopard.  I had backed up the iTunes music folder on an external hard drive and imported to library after installing lion.  Very, very frustrating...

    I seen this a few times.
    Do a test, delete one of those files/albums. Then re-download it from iTunes in the Cloud.
    I bet you the new DL will work.  If this solves it, then just remove the other older songs/albums, and then re-dl them from iTunes Store.

  • Do iPods play MP3 at 64 bitrate or only AAC files????

    I still can't get this thing to work but hopefully it will be working soon, but my question is will iPods play 64 bitrate songs or does apple make you convert the files to acc itune files??? If so can you compress acc files to make them smaller so you can put more songs in your shuffle?

    Apple says the shuffle will play the folowing files:
    MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store, M4A, M4B, M4P), Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4) and WAV
    So, yes, it should play your files. iTunes will encode both mp3 and AAC files as low as 16 kbps, so you should be able to compress them. (I haven't tried it, though.) I would personally perform that compression on the source, instead of recompressing an already compressed file, though.
    Good luck

  • ITunes 10.5 won't play protected aac files

    Have just upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now won't play or copy to my iPhone my protected aac files that I bought with the same apple id I have now. iTunes keeps asking me to authorise my already authorised computer?

    I just downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5.1.42 and all of my problems have been solved.
    All audio books now play
    All wav files play
    Tinny sound reported by others seems much improved with this update
    The updated version of iTunes launches much faster on Win 7 64bit SP1The download and update for 10.5.1.42 ran smoothly and the install/upgrade worked the first time.
    Thanks to all who helped.

  • Quicktime plays AAC files but iTunes won't

    I don't really understand why my iTunes won't play my AAC files. I've gone to a lot of trouble so I could convert my FLACs to AACs, and I have, and Quicktime can successfully play them, so why can't iTunes? I did not purchase these files online. They are a free live recording of a concert, and I really don't want to hear that these AACs are too old because I created them tonight. Any help would be appreciated.

    hi adam: i use Max [v.0.8.1] to convert FLACS to use in itunes [v8.01].
    this is how i do it:
    1. open the preferences in MAX and click on "Formats"
    2 chose to add "MPEG4 AUDIO". when i do so a new menu BOX appears entitled "MPEG4 AUDIO (AAC)". 3. there are listed two "available data formats": choose "Apple Lossless". when you do so you will notice that the options to change the quality and the bitrate are greyed out. click "OK". In your main menu box there should now be listed, as one of your "configured output formats" the following: MPEG4 Audio (apple Lossless).
    3. in the same main menu box, to the right hand side should be an iTunes logo. click on it and, in the new menu box that appears, tick the box that says "use iTunes compatibility mode"
    4. convert your flacs as before, and then import them into iTunes. it should work.
    i have noticed a few strange things however: firstly, the import process [once converted] takes quite a while and also if i try to change the track details [eg genre or artist name etc] it takes a substantial amount of time. not sure why...
    hope this works for you.

  • [SOLVED] unable to play mp3 or flac files in mpd, .dts files play fine

    I had a perfect running mpd setup before I tried to fiddle around with some dependancies to get xbmc-svn to compile without errors. I installed some AUR packages (ffmpeg-svn, x264-git, libva-sds, libvpx, libid3tag).
    After that I started to experience trouble with mpd, it start fine and says it plays audio files just fine but whenever i play a mp3 or flac file the progress bar just looks like it's playing the file but I hear no sound. Whenever I play a .dts file i hear the sound correct.
    I'm very curious to why this happends.
    I rolled back the packages mentioned above but the issue remains unsolved.

  • Authorization issue with protected AAC files I own - won't let me play!

    I had my hard drive replaced. My old hard drive was cloned onto the new hard drive. Everything works great except that my protected AAC files won't play. I have authorized and deauthorized and re-authorized the computer. My mac account is fine and opens via iTunes.
    I have tried every converting program (free or shareware) that I can find and nothing will allow me to convert, burn, or play this music. I've got over 70 songs that won't play.
    When I try to play one of the songs, I keep getting the message that this computer is not authorized to play this song and wants me to authorized the computer, when I do, the same message pops up again and again.
    What do I do?? I've reseached the internet and it seems others are also having this issue. I do not want to buy software to convert songs that I already own and have paid for!

    i am having the same problem... have you found the solution?
