Hi all,

 

Can anyone suggest a good Media player that will play MP4s? I'm using Windows Media Player version 10 but it doesn't play MP4s and I get a lot of codec errors.

 

Thanks

I've never used this program myself, but it looks good. Give it a try if you want http://www.gustosoft.com/divx-player/download-divx-player.htm

Cheers Ken. Does anyone know what will play M4A files?

You should be able to play non encrypted m4a's with dBPowerAMP Player http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dbpoweramp.htm. iTunes should also be able to play them..

it didn't :( would that suggest they're encrpted? and what exactly does that mean :)

 

Cheers

Most audio files you buy from the net are encrypted, which means they can only be played on the computer which holds a license. Most online companies provide three licenses for their files, which means you can play the file on three different computers. You can give iTunes a try if you want, I hate it tho.

 

Take a look at this page if you want.

 

It is possible to get past the encryption by first burning the files to a normal audio CD, and then ripping them back to the computer as i.e. MP3 files.
