A workaround could be to use html5's native audio player within livecodes
browser to stream the m4a files

FWIW: For conversion, Audacity is a decent app, but you might want to take

Well, clearly you have more knowledge here… of course it's assumed that

if one is comparing m4a to mp3, we have apples and oranges here. Comparing
by rate numbers doesn't take into consideration the efficiency of m4a.

Just minutes ago I converted 2GB of audio (mono voice) coming into Audition at
44100 Hz/32-bit to 16000hz/24bit CBR and got the whole repository down to
250MB! And I tested on discriminating ears here and they cannot hear *any*
significant difference.

There's another factor to your advantage here, if the majority of your content
is voice. Voice is WAY more forgiving of high compression than music, so I
would say you're good choosing a different format rather than jumping through
hoops trying to accommodate m4a. Save yourself some headache.

Yes, you're right. We're pretty much screwed then. All the universities
have demanded that QT be removed from all site computers and our app
depends on .m4a audio. There are too many audio files to convert to
another format, and the audio guy refuses to do it anyway due to the
