Have you tried mkv? E.g. download to m4a as above and then do a quick mkvmerge -o output.mkv input.m4a or use youtube-dl / ffmpeg like this: youtube-dl -x --audio-format best \ --recode-video mkv --postprocessor-args "-acodec copy" URL Both give me a mkv containing the unaltered aac stream and plays well with mplayer, vlc, xine, -dnh -- Shh! Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wuntime errors!
