JuK and AAC/MP4
Hi.
I'm wondering if there's any way I can play the unlocked Apple AAC (i.e. .m4a) files using JuK?
I used to use XMMS to play both mp3 and m4a files. I've recently decided to give JuK a try. In fact, I like its interface so much, I'm seriously considering making JuK my main multimedia app.
The only obstacle to that is the lack of m4a playback capability. If anyone can help me get JuK to play m4a files, I'd be much much grateful.
Thanks!
Dai

See
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96436 . This is still an unimplemented wish. I heard that amaroK supports these files if you have installed faac.

Thanks for the info. I tried amaroK as well, but it would not play the AAC files either. I do have "faac" installed.

I just found out that the current development version of amaroK has AAC support. This will be amaroK 1.4, which will be released really soon (beta's are available from amarok.kde.org)

You'd be able to play AAC with 1.3.x if the engine has support for it - the only limitation is collection management isn't possible.
The easiest way is to use xine, and with faac and faad packages installed.
Thanks guys.
Actually, I have amaroK 1.4-beta3 on my system. It still will not play AAC files. The error message on the status bar says "Media could not be loaded."
Right now, my best option for playing AAC files looks like going back to XMMS. (Xine would probably be good, too, though it'd be an overkill to just play back music... IMO.)
