Praat not opening m4a files...

[socioguy]

I am on a Mac and planning to use Praat. When I downloaded a couple new .m4a files, Praat wouldn't open them. It gives me a pop-up that says, "File not recognized. File not finished" Any thoughts pls?

PRAAT can't open m4a files. here's a list of files it can open: http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/Sound_files_3__Files_that_Praat_can_read.html

Your best bet is using a free online converter to convert the file to wav
