Re: [Lynx-dev] playing aac or m4a files

[Karen Lewellen]

I have a question.  Does your setup allow you to call or use another 
program?  There are a couple of options, one playany, which is very small, 
and  can manage the format.
The other depending on your operating system is mpxplay.  Not as small to 
be sure, but  would manage the format.
That is of course assuming that the iTunes reference does not mean the 
files are actually restricted to play in ITunes.  That you could download 
them  slightly hints you can use a third party program.
