Sharepod wont play m4a music files floola

I would say this is a problem with floola as well, I searched the web and found almost nothing.. many people with this problem yet no real answers.. By the way M4a are aac non protected files so there is no issue with protection. I noticed that the problem is Windows media player which both Floola and sharepod use to play music.. so the problem is Windows Media Player does not as shipped play m4a files, yet there is a way to make it work, and that is by installing something called a codec for Windows media player. here are the steps:
1- download the codec from Orban at http://www.orban.com/plugin/ it is called aacPlus Player Plugin
2- install the files you just downloaded by double clicking on it.
3- the instilation should be quite simple and straight forward.
4- once done floola or sharepod will be able to play any m4a file.

Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is omnipresent in this day and age, and I can say with 99% certainty that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
