Itunes M4a not supported
It seems like the M4a audio type is not supported. MM wont see any of my M4a files (and there are a lot!)
Read and do this...

It *is* supported. Please search the forums first. There's a lot of info out here.

Download these and put them in MediaMonkey's Plugins folder (normally C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Plugins) and then (re)start MediaMonkey.
Now, you should be able to play AAC, AAC+, MP4, M4A (iTunes).

convert M4A to MP3
Can I convert M4A (jhymn output) to MP3 and keep the tags and cover art?
That's interesting to know, thanks.

"The ones (dated January 06) linked in this thread": see the file links in this thread (some posts up) http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 0350#40350
The file dates are "January 06" (to see it, download these files and check the file properties).
Basically it means that if you want things to work, then you can use the files (plugins) posted in this thread.
Answer on the previous question (dcm693):
With the above posted plugin files, existing tags can be read within Media Monkey from mp4, but not from m4a (or similar files). I don't know about aac files. (As you already said, it's currently impossible to edit/write the tags for these files)
All MM supported music files should be uploadable to your portable music player, if the player accepts these files. So it depends on iPod if it accepts aac files (maybe it only allows some extensions?).
In theory (as mentioned in http://www.analogduck.com/main/m4a), you can rename your aac and m4a files to mp4 files, so maybe this will help a bit if the player or plugin does difficult. I'm not sure if this is always possible in practice, as I vaguely remembered myself doing this unsuccesfully.

Re: Itunes M4a not supported
And we're back to not working on M4A files. Dang. I am resolute against purchasing the 10 dollar plugin just to play that format. I used to love the MMonkey. Now off to invest in some other iTunes alternative.

Re: Itunes M4a not supported
I have the newest version of Quicktime installed, did it yesterday when MediaMonkey said that I needed it to play AAC and M4A files. Have restarted MediaMonkey, then my computer, but I still get the same popup. Where can I find the .dll to paste into the MediaMonkey plugins folder to get this working? Also, can I paste the drm licenses anywhere and play my MP4 files?

DL the plugin and just copy paste to your mediamonkey plugin folder. I scoured the internet for other solutions but found that this seems to be the only way (for now) to be able to play my M4A files through mediamonkey. I got the beta version of the plugin, works fine and i dont get the "update to latest quicktime..." error message anymore.
