isent that waht ur suposed to do???

I think we're missing the point here and getting WAY off the subject, I just wanted to know if a certain action could have been done, and what happened was no one actually answered and the conversation broke down as to what's best in people's own minds and other unsolicited opinions. To that end, thanks for whatever info was given and everyone just needs to calm down, including myself!

Sorry. As you said in the beginning mediasource doesn't seem to recognise it. I don't know the softw & whether it is capable of recognising m4a for not. I'd suggest (a) you check the options & preferences as to whether you can enable m4a support. (b) Check any documentation or online help for this product. (c) Go to their site & see if there's any updates. I went to one site which offered updates but I'm not 100% sure it's the same product. So I haven't left a link. Google mediasource

Thanks, LOTR, you're the wind beneath my wings!!!! LOL! Will look into that option...
