Yea i figured that confusion ? AAC can also be m4a as well as alac ? or
what ? It is m4a on Ubuntu too and AAC is m4a too .
Must be some kind of container format .
You must check the file properties to see what is what ?

Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder)
Bedroom/Office: Boom
Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be
stuffed in a box in the attic )
I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to
control this

apple lossless as .m4a files.
