Tag reading problem -.m4a files

recosta · 2006-10-26, 00:42

Hey there all of you ;-)
I'm using MP for about two months and I use it mostly to listen to my digital music. The files I've ripped from my cd's are all -.m4a. I can play them in MP without any problem, accept for one anoying thing.
During playing from a playlist, the duration is being kept to 0:00. All other files are -.mp3 and will display the right duration. The 'Play Now' screen display de correct duration from -.m4a.

I'm running MP 0.2.1.0 on XP Pro SP2 and MP 0.2.0.4 on Vista 5744. Both have the same problem.

Is anyone familiar with the tag reading problem from -.m4a?

Thank you in advance!

This is corrected with the new Tagreader, which is available in the SVN already. Due to testing issues it hasn#t made it into 0.2.1.0.
It will be included in one of the next stable builds, however we have no date for it yet.
So you either live with that until we release a new version or you grab a svn build and install it over 0.,2.1.0.

Thanks a lot hwahrman, the duration from the m4a-files is being displayed correctly after the do's you described.
Furthermore, thank you for reacting so promptly!
