Most of the Linux users I know use Amarok. I think it's okay, but the way its functionality is organized doesn't make sense to me. So one time when it gave me an issue I started using Rhythmbox, which I liked better. But it had a problem - a certain album I had wouldn't play or load in the library. I looked at it and found that they were all .m4a files. I then found a codec that allowed it to play one of the files, but it still wouldn't load them into the library. Exasperated, I opened up Amarok, but apparently it now considers all of my music unplayable.
I went online and found a third program - Songbird. It's very much like Rhythmbox or like iTunes. But it has the same problem: it will play my .m4a files if I go to the trouble to open them from their folder, but it won't add them to the library.
This is really frustrating me. I can't decide if I should look for still another music player, or if I should find a program to convert to another format, as others on the Ubuntu forums have thought. I just want to start building playlists in Linux, but Magical Mystery Tour has some of my favorite songs!
