Yes, I've heard that before, although I confess I don't really understand
it. And how is a user to know what is happening to their files when they are
being converted if m4a is only a container? But I know for sure that Winamp
plays aac files, but it won't play the converted aac files either.
And it is still strange that my Book Sense will play the m4a files, whatever
they are encoded as, and my Winamp will not. As far as I am aware, there is
not an audio file format that the Book Sense supports that Winamp does not,
not for playing music, at any rate.
Clearly, I need to do more investigating.

AN M4A file is just a container, and when you used switch, you don't
really know what it converted it to.

Subject: Winamp Won't Play My Converted Files
I got that Switch converter program, and I did get it to convert an album.
It doesn't take that long either. First, I tried aac, then I tried m4a.
Both conversions seemed to yield the same size files, so I imagine they're
the same bit rate. But my Winamp won't play them. All the CDs I've ripped
are in m4a, and Winamp plays those just fine. Anyone know what I might be
doing wrong? I can play the original mp3 files in Winamp, and I can play
other m4a files, but not the m4a files in the album I converted.
Thanks for any guidance.
