    Question 8tracks ... can someone read this on its squeezebox (xspf/m4a) ?

    I'm trying to build XSPF playlist files from 8tracks, with 8tracks api.
    it works in all my player (ubuntu), but not with SB
    But my squeezebox can't read m4a ?! WTF ?

    Which Squeezebox model? Not all SBs play AAC natively so your server might have to transcode.

    Ok, also tried some of the links in your playlist. Don't work. Are you sure they are still valid? 8tracks links expire after some time, I believe.

    Strange, because the m4a (ie: http://8tracks.s3.amazonaws.com/tf/0.../84173.64k.m4a) plays natively in my chromium too ?!

    SBS behaves strangely when trying to stream some m4a files. I've done some testing with m4a podcasts where the usually problem is incorrect mime supplied in http headers.

    Playlist files can add problems so I have been testing with just with a single stream or downloaded as a file.

    http://8tracks.s3.amazonaws.com/tf/0...7b6d2e.64k.m4a

    When attempting to stream it looks like SBS can't find the right conversion.

    This file won't play when downloaded as faad or flac gives a segmentation fault but faad will process it OK from a shell prompt.

    Cool

    strange, this url/m4a works on a lot of players (totem, chromium, deadbeef, ...) on my computer (ubu11.4)
    It should work on my SBS (same ubuntu)

    If we can't resolve that : we never had a 8tracks plugin ;-(

    It will be resolved - just take a little time and detective work to see what is making SBS think it needs a different conversion that that which works for AAC streams.
