well i encoded everything in itunes to .mp3 and synced the ipod.. now banshee plays them all fine... would still like to know what i was missing that wouldnt allow banshee to play .m4a files where rhythmbox would.
I have the same problems playing AAC files in Banshee. I assume it is because Banshee is using GStreamer 0.10 (and gst-plugins-faad 0.10.1) while Rhythmbox uses GStreamer 0.8.
what if you install gst-plugins-faac ?
I have gst-plugins-faac installed. I have tried re-emerging both it and gst-plugins-faad; this does not solve the problem.
I can't even get my ipod to show up, even though lshal -m shows it and it gets automounted by gnome
The problem with M4A/AAC files has been fixed in CVS HEAD of Banshee; see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338777
it was fixed on banshee cvs and it's fixed on 0.10.10 so we can close this bug.
