Hi Mike,
Your Pi should play M4A I believe.
All the best

Steve,
First of all I didn't know that M4A is a loss-less compression codec.
So that explains one of the reasons to want to convert to MP3.
Second is that with a back-up of all the M4A files conversion to MP3 it
doesn't mean I have to delete the original M4A files.
And lastly I don't know whether I have any other device that will play
M4A files.
I haven't yet taken the plunge into Android. If mpd on onre of my
Raspberry Pi computers will handle M4A then I will dedicate a Pi to
playing them.
Other than that I was intending to use my Victor Stream which won't play
M4A (I think).
Mike
