The red x problem is lame, but if it's something you just can't live with then you might try a quick fix like I found. Drop down the little arrow next to the red x and choose Napster or one of the other services. When I did that, the accompanying icon took the place of the red x. On my system, the red x only appears when MSN Music Preview is selected. Worth a try.

To get *.m4a files to play in windows media player 10 you need to do the following...

Download the 3ivx codec and install

This isn't essential but you can edit the registry so that m4a files appear when you go to file>open without having to click on all files.

Start regedit by choosing run from the start menu and typing regedit. On the tree view on the left you'll need to descend to this key

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Extensions\Types

and click on it, then on the right you'll get a list of values representing the supported extensions of the different data types. Double click on the value "1" (the one for Audio files) and add whatever extensions you want, such as ;*.m4a;*.aac, so it should something like

*.wav;*.snd;*.au;*.aif;*.aifc;*.aiff;*.wma;*.mp3;*.m4a

I haven't found out how to enable adding m4a files to the media library yet, but i expect its not too hard.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Your other comment in another article says otherwise, namely "Microsoft veteran wants to replace every single line of C/C++ code with Rust and AI".

      Sued and... exonerated. Oh, they learned a lesson alright. They learned that anyone who uses the word "antiturst" in conjunction with "Microsoft" is an idiot, even if that person is Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. That judge ruined the image of the US justice system. Microsoft Edge has a 5.14% market share. Also, Windows is no longer the #1 OS. None of this constitutes a monopoly. Google Chrome, however, has 70.25% share. Also, Google's Android is the #1 OS. Now that's closer to a monopoly.

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
