Re: MP4 -> M4A -> MP4 scripts

FYI, if you use Winamp2, there is a newer compile of the in_mp4.dll that will
let you play M4A files directly.

Winamp 2.x plugin: 
<http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jfe1205/faad_plugins.zip>http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jfe1205/faad_plugins.zip

Just install the plugin (unzip into winamp plugin directory), and associate 
M4A
files to open with Winamp.  It works for all my Nero encoded files.
