My playlists with .m4a tracks will be exported as .mp4?!?! What‘s this? Anyone?
Hi @chrismalgoho,
thanks for your patience!
There is nothing to worry about here - in fact, there is no technical difference between .m4a and .mp4 files apart from the file extension. While .mp4 is a container format that can contain both audio and video, an .m4a is an .mp4 that carries audio only. Hence, Traktor altering the extension has neither an effect on the functionality of the exported playlist nor on the single files.
