files converted from .flac to .m4a won't play in Quicktime or Torq

[JayNYC]

Hi. I just recently upgraded to the latest R13.2 release using Apple Lossless codec R8 and converted 2 flac files to apple lossless.

the resulting .m4a (ALAC) files will not play in Itunes, Quicktime or Torq, but will play in Media Monkey.

I know that my Media Monkey is NOT using any Quicktime components to decode the .m4a because I am using a special plug in for Media Monkey.

I think this is a serious problem if .m4a files created by dbpoweramp cannot play in Itunes/Quicktime. NOTE: when I used an older version of dbpoweramp and ALAC codec, I did not have this problem.

Can dBpoweramp Convert the ALAC files to say wave? (to test they are not corrupted)

yes, dbpoweramp converts them to .wav fine and they play in any player.

re-installing solved this problem.
