Description of problem: When attempting to add .m4a files to the Library, an error is received that the file type is not recognized. If I change the file extension to .mp4, gtkpod recognizes it just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtkpod-2.1.0-1.fc16.i686 with libmp4v2-1.5.0.1-11.fc15.i686 And the mp4 plugin enabled in gtkpod How reproducible: Add m4a file to Library Steps to Reproduce: 1. Music menu, Add Files, Select m4a file 2. 3. Actual results: "File type of /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.m4a is not recognised" Expected results: File added to library. Additional info: simply renaming the file extension to .mp4 allows gtkpod to recognize the file. mp4info recognizes the file either way: [root@jp-note ~]# mp4info /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.m4a mp4info version 1.5.0.1 /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.m4a: Track Type Info 1 audio MPEG-4 AAC LC, 263.500 secs, 64 kbps, 44100 Hz Metadata Name: Genesis 01 Metadata Artist: Johnston, Stephen Metadata Tool: iTunes v6.0.0.18, QuickTime 7.0.3 Metadata Album: KJV Audio Bible Metadata track: 1 of 50 Metadata Disk: 1 of 66 Metadata Genre: Books & Spoken Metadata Comment: Steven Johnston [root@jp-note ~]# mp4info /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.mp4 mp4info version 1.5.0.1 /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.mp4: Track Type Info 1 audio MPEG-4 AAC LC, 263.500 secs, 64 kbps, 44100 Hz Metadata Name: Genesis 01 Metadata Artist: Johnston, Stephen Metadata Tool: iTunes v6.0.0.18, QuickTime 7.0.3 Metadata Album: KJV Audio Bible Metadata track: 1 of 50 Metadata Disk: 1 of 66 Metadata Genre: Books & Spoken Metadata Comment: Steven Johnston [root@jp-note ~]# md5sum /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.mp4 50eec7f41d486daf048fcbb3a8f66141 /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.mp4 [root@jp-note ~]# md5sum /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.m4a 50eec7f41d486daf048fcbb3a8f66141 /home/johnpaultate3/Genesis01.m4a [root@jp-note ~]#
I have the same problem. The files are recognized after switching the extensions to mp4 from m4a, but they are then shown under the videos category on the iPod. Fedora 17 64bit.
A trivial issue. The spec file needs the following to ensure building of the M4A plugin: BuildRequires: faad2-devel BuildRequires: faad2 Requires: faad2 Download source, add the lines, install faad2 and -devel packages, rebuild, enjoy. Don't forget to enable M4A plugin in the preferences.

Hi, I built libmp4v2-2.0.0 on F22 , please check if gtkpod now handle well m4a files . Thanks,
In last build.log [1] checking for faad... no configure: WARNING: "Cannot find faad. Conversion from m4a to mp3 not possible" but faad2 is not in Fedora repos, so can't be fixed. For m4a support , you need rebuild package with comment #2 and RPMFusion repos enabled [1] https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/gtkpod/2.1.5/1.fc22/data/logs/x86_64/build.log
I allow myself to point to bug 1298720 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298720 . This thing can be fixed without faad present. Please see there.
