I have an mp4 audio file, which is played automatically by Mplayer, but 
you can use it with KinoAmp

from !boot file for Mplayer.
if "<File$Type_FB2>" = "" then Set File$Type_FB2 "AVI"
Set Alias$@RunType_FB2 Run <MPlayer$Dir>.!Run %%*0
Set File$Type_A63 "MKV"
Set Alias$@RunType_A63 Run <MPlayer$Dir>.!Run %%*0
Set File$Type_A64 "MP4"
Set Alias$@RunType_A64 Run <MPlayer$Dir>.!Run %%*0

In my mimefile there is:
# Media type 'Video'
video/x-msvideo  AVI  fb2 .avi
video/mp4               MP4             a64     .mp4
video/x-matroska        MKV             a63     .mkv

I don't know if iTunes uses Mplayer?
