I use a mixed envioronment of OS and hardware at home, and ended up decidin= g on m4a for music formats for space reasons on my iPod. I like to be able to play audio on my -CURRENT machine, and like the way rh= ythmbox works, so I decided to get m4a working with it. This is what I did. The sparse documentation for rhythmbox says that the mp4.h files from faad = are what work with rhythmbox, but I found that mpeg4ip is actually what wor= ked for me. Install ports/multimedia/mpeg4ip Compile and rhythmbox-0.8.2 with the xine backend, and make sure to edit th= e Makefile to include --enable-mp4 as a CONFIGURE_ARG. My install of gnome-2.6 does not seem to recognize audio/x-m4a as a MIMEtyp= e, so I also had to edit /usr/local/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml= and add the following to it: --- freedesktop.org.xml.orig Sat May 1 11:25:36 2004 +++ freedesktop.org.xml Sat May 1 10:57:28 2004 @@ -2420,6 +2420,25 @@ + + MP4 audio + MP4 audio fayl=C4=B1 + Sain MP4 + MP4-=C3=A4=C3=A4ni + audio MP4 + MP4-hang + MP4 geluidsbestand + MP4-lyd + MP4-lyd + MP4 =D0=B7=D0=B2=D1=83=D1=87=D0=BD=D0=B8 =D0= =B7=D0=B0=D0=BF=D0=B8=D1=81 + MP4-ljud + + + + + + + MP3 playlist MP3-spilleliste and run the following as root: update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/ After that, everything worked nicely.
