Hi.

I had occasion to send a voice recording from my mobile phone via email, 
which I first had to get from my phone to my PC - no problem.

Next step - check that the file played OK before sending it on. Used 
LanMan 98 to get it on this machine - came over as a text file, so I 
checked and .M4A is not in my MimeMap file.

I tried playing the file in the various sound apps I have on here, but 
nothing played it.

Not sure if it got corrupted transferring via LanMan 98 so I emailed it to 
myself via my phone and have sent it on as required, however, it leaves me 
with a couple of questions:

  1. Is there a RISC OS app that can play .M4A files?
     
  2. I couldn't open the files on my phone from RISC OS, having to go 
     through my PC instead. Is there a way of accessing the files on 
     an Android phone using the USB cable?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I'm on a N.Ex.T machine (basically a Raspberry Pi) with RO 5.31 (from July 
2024).
