M4a Files - "Audio Stream Format Not Supported"

[grossmsj (Scott G)]

Unsupported Files

At this time, Roon supports mono, stereo and multichannel content in the following formats: MP3, WAV, WAV64, AIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless, OGG, and AAC at resolutions up to 32 bit 768kHz. Roon also supports DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, and DSD512 in the DSF and DFF formats.

Media that’s not in one of the formats listed above will not import into Roon.

M4a file not seen in Roon[Solved]

Hi, I noticed that I have a m4a file that will not show up in Roon. The file was originally download from the itunes store and plays fine in iTunes. I have other m4a files that play fine in Roon but can’t seem to get Roon to see this one. Any ideas how to fix this issue? I import all my music via itunes which saves the music files onto a external HD via a permanent thunderbolt connection. Roon then watches the external HD.

So if the format is supported and you are having problems importing them, there may be some sort of subtle corruption in the wrapper that is fixed when you convert to another format.
