Aha.  That's the problem.  As mentioned in my previous email, we resorted to
some subterfuge to tell the difference between AAC and Apple Lossless m4a
files.  We are specifically checking for "AAC Audio File" as the kind.

Unfortunately, it turns out that that string is localized, depending upon
what your primary language was when iTunes ripped the song.

We have an alternate solution that should work reliably no matter which
language the string is in.  I will escalate this issue in our bug database
so that we can hopefully fix it for the first dot release.

Sorry about that,
--Mike
