Thanks, Stephen. Yes, I was using standard headphones, not a headset, which I don't even have. What is Macrodroid? Is that an app?

not. You can use standard headphones to play music and the like on the 
SmartVision2.

Keep in mind, you may need to use something like Macrodroid and change the 
volume levels for Media playback anhd Music playback when headphones are 
plugged in. The SmartVision2 doesn't let you change these two volume levels on 
their own by default.

Hi Sam/list,

I transferred some files from my computer to the SmartVision2, which I had 
downloaded from:
https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/batcast
(The podcasts are in mp4 format, and they have the .m4a extension.) I tried 
playing them in the Play Music application, half-expecting they wouldn't work, 
as I wasn't sure if that application only handled mp3 files? Strangely, the 
application was telling me the file was playing when I had my wired headphones 
connected, even though I wasn't hearing the sound; yet I could hear it when I 
tried without the headphones. (And when I had the headphones connected, other 
audio from the phone was working as it has previously.) So I'm wondering what's 
the situation with this format and the Play Music application, and why would it 
work without headphones, yet not with headphones?

Regards
Vivien
