The owners manual does not mention that MFT will play m4a file. I copied an album from my iTunes music folder to my SD CARD expecting to have to convert it before playing it on my MFT. I was surprised that it played as a m4a file extension!

"SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune™, plays from device players, and
most USB drives. Supported audio formats
include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC."

AAC = m4a

well... that's an over simplification of facts. m4a is MPEG4 Part 14 audio container, it could be several different audio codecs inside (though most commonly AAC or Apple Lossless). I'd guess that since you can hook up an ipod/iphone it shouldn't have any problems with the files commonly used on there :)

Does anyone know if it supports FLAC? Or even Apple Lossless?

Or had any issues with advanced variable bitrate files?

And what about storage sizes? There's another thread here with someone having issues with a 128GB flash drive...

I use a lot of VBR with no problems. I haven't tried FLAC yet.

I'll have to drive my new Mustang 7 hours to get it home so I need something besides the eb whine to keep me company :)

FLAC does not work, and it bums me out.

I have YET to find a car that will play FLAC files.
