Yes, correct. And I agree it makes no sense. I've found, with your encouragement, that if I persevere through multiple cycles of Ctr-Alt-Delete I can highlight a track, "Delete" it with the keyboard key, and over a period of anywhere from 5 seconds to 40 seconds the file will disappear. Using this brute force method I have been able to purge the M4A files.
The files on my external drive appear to be in the correct ie FLAC format and I have been able to "Play in Media Monkey" one of these as a test. It was imported, played properly and has been added to the Choral playlist.
I should report that early on, before I knew the problem came from the M4A format I complained to Hyperion that this format was unplayable in Media Monkey and they responded by providing the same music in FLAC format which is what is now in my external drive.
