Free codec here: http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm

You should never have to pay for a codec!

Anyway, those files should play in Quicktime no prob.

M4A's are mpeg4 audio files and can be easily played under WinAmp.

The k-lite codec didn't work for me but I downloaded the ace mega codec pack from the same site and it worked well, thanks:)

If you want to forgo that mega pack all you need is CoreAAC & Haali Media Splitter installed after that Windows Media Player will play them so will any other directshow enabled player.
