I'm trying to load m4a files with playlist~ but they only work on Mac. I can't get them to work in Windows 10.

Thanks for the suggestion Roman. I've installed Quicktime for Windows but it didn't help.

I've tried installing other AAC 64 bit codecs but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Did you ever resolve this, or is this file format not supported on Windows. No issues on OSX.

 files weren't supported on the Windows Media Player, and - as far as I know - the format still isn't supported on Windows systems. 

Kind of a pity - though it's a lossy compression, it's a good working replacement for MP3, and the file size isn't bad at all.

Last time I looked, .m4a files weren't supported on the Windows Media Player, and - as far as I know - the format still isn't supported on Windows systems.

sample.m4a plays fine for me in windows 7/32 and windows 10/32 using firefox or windows media player, just not max/msp.

fun fact: the sfplay helpfile explicitely states m4a would be supported.
