info from Stu

MP4 are definitely Mac files and windows media player won't handle them on its own. MP3 will definitely work better. If people want older versions of iTunes, they can check out
www.versiontracker.com
and find versions of iTunes (AND other software) for their older computers and older computer systems.

In the end I do think MP3 would be more accessible. You should be able to change how the podcast is encoded, from ACC (MP4) to MP3.

Hope this [below] helps the PC owners while we update files.


WinAMP AAC/MP4 input plugin

Finally found an → input plugin ← for WinAMP that plays AAC files (.m4a) encoded by iTunes ( local mirror).
As far as I know, this plugin doesn't play protected files from the iTunes Music Store - for that you'll need the M4P input plugin. 03-11-24: This version seems to allow tag editing without corrupting the files.Clarification: The input plugin linked from this page is compiled by John Edwards, from the source code produced by Menno Bakker. There is another compile from the same source by Case here.The plugin is also found as an executable at
AudioCoding.com
and RareWares. For more information and sources, see the SourceForge project page.
