Using the open folder option in Ulilith navigate to the folder with the m4a files choose "all files" otherwise the file is not visible. It should play with your CCC codecs. You have a i7 which is multi core so core2 64 should work.I don't know what difference it makes in functionality or sound..give it a try you can always delete the folder if it does not work for you.

What I've done, is open the playlist, and either dragged over a m4a file or chose "Add".  I can see the file(s) when I choose "all files", but it doesn't actually add the file(s) to the playlist.  Are you able to play m4a files?

 

[Digiti]

Yes they play fine on my setup using the method I described. The codec filter that is used is the "Lav Filter"

Do I have to manually add the filter to the plugins folder or something?

 

[Digiti]

I would be surprised if you do not have the proper codec installed in that codec pack. Yes you can manually install the Lav codec if you want to go that route or you could uninstall your codec pack then install the K-lite Mega Pack. Of course you also could convert your M4a files to flac or some other format as well using the free software:  FormatFactory or FreeMake Audio Converter.

Hmm... I already have the LAV splitter installed.  It is part of CCCpack.  I've emailed Northern Verse as well, but so far nothing is working.  lol

Update:
 
So now I'm able to actually add m4a files to my playlists, but they sound like the Chipmunks.  LOL!  But at least I'm getting somewhere.  The thing I was missing on how to be able to get uLilith to recognize the m4a was this (thanks to Northern Verse!!):

Great he gave you some incites. I have the Lav Splitter set up as my MP4 Splitter instead which works for me.

I tried using the LAVSplitter, but it had the same problem.  Finally got it resolved thanks to Northern Verse again!!

Do you know what has been updated/changed/etc?

 

[Digiti]

I am using the new version but notice no new changes in features or sound. I always try the latest version of programs like this. Your impression may be different.
