Apple Lossless not playing in 7.2 (may be duplicate issue)

[gandt]

Just ungraded to 7.2 to discover my (now somewhat elderly) apple lossless (not drm just encoded to apple lossless using itunes - usually with suffix m4a) dont play - just a click then nothing. I am using Windows Home Server if that might make a differance to the stock windows installation but its worked fine up to 7.1 with no special installation requirements. I see some discussion that sounds similar to this regarding Linux installations so perhaps this is related? Any advice gratefuly received!

I think yo'd need the decoder in the Win world as well, and as a rule Quicktime ought to get your system fixed? But I am not sure. I had M4a issues in Linux, never experienced them in Win.

[gandt]

Ok I understand - maybe I just didnt happen to ever play one of the old AAC files and its never worked! I guess the probolem now is to find a version of Quicktime that will happily install in Windows Home Server (not the latest ones) does anybody know?

its not Squeencentre - it seems only the Duet wont play back the tracks! What on earth is going on? Anyone familiar with this?

Running 7.2 on ReadyNAS and Apple Lossless won't play any more. I am very very frustrated.

edkeller,

I think you should add your problem to bug 9420 as it is a general Linux issue and not an Ubuntu one

edkeller,

The thread below proposes a temporary fix to your problem:

Thank you bpa and Jean-Charles. Unfortunately I am tech-challenged therefore I will wait for a fix instead of tinkering with codes.
Trying to downgrade to 7.01 again.

I have most of my albums encoded in Apple Lossless. I have XP SP3 fully updated. My Duet worked just fine until I was forced into a 7.2 upgrade this afternoon. It immediately stopped working correctly with the upgrade. Now it randomly cuts on and off with streaming media and Apple Lossless sound like they are badly corrupted when they play.

Any ideas how to resolve this with out having to code?

I had problems with apple lossless with SC7.2.

My problem was solved after I unchecked the 'use Itunes' option in SCentre and just put in the file path to my music. Rescanned, and now now problems.
