I just bought my first album online, a non-DRM one at the new Itunes Plus in glorious 256kbps AAC/.m4a. So far so good, execpt it wont play on my E65 that normally eats everything I throw at it in aac/.m4a :con?
Anyone care to try with a different model?

I can try it on my e61i, pm me for email.
Mail sent. Thanks Roger 😊
Ok, i've tried it, cannot play with music player but can play with real player, funny things is the file automaticly change it extension from .m4a to mpeg?? Weird!
Thanks for trying. The N95 wont play them either. Apparently it is the non-metadata (ID, account etc.) that is causing the problems..
Too bad Nokia (rumor has it they work on SE phones).
How did you get real player to play the file? When I open the directory I just get a "NO DATA" message?
EDIT: I just changed the extension myself. Thanks Roger!
Forgot to mention, if i downloaded the file with nokia build-in browser the file extention still .m4a . But when i downloaded the file with opera browser the file automaticly change the extention to .mpeg.
so can you play the file with real player after rename the extention?
I can play a "Itunes Plus"-file (m4a) in Real Player after renaming the extenion to mpeg. Edit: ON MY N95
I hope you all agree with me that this is not an ideal solution, though.
Since it is possible to play the file in Real, I guess it should be a simple job for Nokia to make it play in the standard media-player...?

Yes, but it is hardly a long term solution. I can't even make it play the whole album. You have to manually play each song 😞
-And yes, it would take Nokia 10 minutes to fix the code (even though I blame Apple/EMI for the non-standard tags), but I dont see it happening.
Check out this thread on the Nokia-forum:

It works even without the VBR-option (wich I do not know what does) checked. There is no duplication of the files or entries in the library, so I copied the original files first, to be on the safe side. EDIT: Sorry, there is a duplication. Annoying!
