Windows 10: Issues playing .mp3 and .m4a files that are stored in my OneDrive folder with Windows Media...

I used to store all of my .mp3 and .m4a files in my hard drive outside of my OneDrive folder, and they always played without issue in Windows Media Player (WMP). A few months ago I started paying for OneDrive and moved all of my music to my local OneDrive folder. All of the files remain stored locally (i.e. I have told OneDrive to always keep them on this device). Since moving them to the local OneDrive folder I sporadically have issues when playing these music files with WMP. The two errors I get (with no discernible pattern) are:

• RPC server is unavailable
• Server Execution Failed

The files play fine with other audio programs (e.g. iTunes, VLC, Groove). They often play fine with WMP, but not reliably.


Notes:

• RPC and RPC Locator services are running and set to automatic start in services.
• This has only happened on one computer that I use to access these OneDrive files.
• The source of the files (e.g. iTunes, CD rip, etc) does not appear to matter when encountering the problem.

M4a to Mp3?

Is there anyway I can get some m4a files to mp3 cause I freakin hate quicktime..

 

Thumbnails for M4a files?


Hi guys

Should windows 10 (by default) be displaying thumbnails within explorer for m4a files? I'm browsing my iTunes media folder and I can see thumbnails only for .mp4, .mp3, .m4p but not for m4a. If I play an m4a file within media player or iTunes I can see the album art. It's just not on the file when viewing it from explorer. The settings are correct. I have no additional codecs installed (or Quicktime though that's prob not relevant). Can it only display them with a codec pack downloaded? Seems strange that it does display thumbnails for the m4p protected files though.

The caveat is that if look at an album folder that contains m4a files then I can see the album art preview on the folder, but double clicking into the folder where the specific songs reside just shows the default windows music icon. Whilst m4p, I don't see album preview on the folder, but clicking into the folder shows the individual songs with their album art thumbnail.

If that all makes sense! Hard to explain really

Cheers

Check the specifications first does the phone play m4a files .



Music playback file formats: .mp3, .wma, .aac, .aac+, eAAC+



Is one spec listing where the other spec listing is



AAC, AAC+, AMR-NB, eAAC+,
M4A, MIDI Tones (poly 64), Mobile XMF, MP3,

If you do end up having to convert AAC+ is the best .
