1. Check to make sure that the files have an .aac extension & not the .m4a one that the iPod software gives them. For some reason (likely a design mis-decision by one of the Gnome project coders), the sound player looks at the extension & not at the file type. Had someone at Nokia noticed this & done the necessary tweak so Sound Player would read the proper extention, then it would make the device far more user friendly for the non-Linux "Aunt Tilly" types.

(BTW, I would appreciate it if someone ported the UNIX tool "file" to the Nokia 770.)

2. Which version of the firmware are you using? Once I fixed the extension problem, I was able to get some mpeg4 files I created with the iPod software on my wife's laptop -- but only with the version 45 firmware. After I upgraded to the version 51 firmware, the Nokia 770 tells me that those files are in an "unsupported file format" & it cannot open them. It would be nice had Nokia documented just what they fixed/changed between the 2 releases -- as professional programmers are supposed to do.
