Well, since they appear and play in the filesystem browser, they are well supported. By default, MediaBox looks at the files that tracker lists as media files for indexing. So tracker doesn't appear to be aware of .m4a.
You can go the filesystem and on the icon for the folder containing your music, tap and hold down for the menu. There you can scan the folder for media that tracker did not list.

Also, MediaBox doesn't seem to be capable of reading embedded album art from .m4a files, a shortcoming apparently shared with Canola. :(

AAC tags are not supported at the moment, unfortunately.

I just tested the renderer 'TMMPlayer' that comes along with Twonky Media Manager - same problem here.

Thanks for testing. Giving me the names of incompatible renderers is very helpful.

It's paused so that it doesn't continue playing on the device while being rendered on the media renderer.

May I suggest pressing cover art to pause/play?

When will be the v0.96 release?
will be improved the lyrics/minilyrics feature?

I think there isn't any maemo app with a good lyric support, because starling shows static lyrics from internet but it doesn't read local lyrics(stored in a file o id tag).

There won't be a 0.96 (or 0.97 for that matter). The versioning scheme is now date-related. The next release will be something like 2010.01.xx or 2010.02.xx.

Lyrics support currently includes LRC and enhanced LRC. More to come.

I knew mediabox supported lrc files but i think the following features will be a good improvement:

-Show lyrics using the full "video" area (full screen maybe not necessary)
-Customize font size
-Show previous and next phrase lines (maybe in other color)


Customize colours for background and foreground(current phrase and previous and next phrases) maybe is less important than the previous points.

pycage If i can help in anything let me know,.. and thank you for this app and your time

Sure, help is always welcome.
If you're interested, this is the lyrics component.

It casts out the lyrics lines in time and the audio player simply displays them.

I am noticing two major issues with it. Couldnt find any other place to report bugs so posting it here.


1. There is a clear pause when the screen goes blank (for power saving) and each time you try to unlock the screen.

2. Global volume resets to 50% when going to next track while the screen in locked. The mediabox volume remains at where it was set.

Both are Maemo bugs on the N900 I believe. Especially evil to playback is pressing the power button.
