Can Lumia 920 play m4a files?

My 920 wouldn't play the m4a format music, but according to the official website, 920 should support the m4a format:

Music format
Codecs: MP3, AMR-WB, AMR-NB, WMA 10 Pro, WMA 9, AAC LC, AAC+/HEAAC, eAAC+/HEAACv2
Audio format: ASF, Wav, MP4, AAC, AMR, MP3, M4A, WMA, 3GP, 3G2

Anybody else have the same problem?

M4a is acc from that list. All my music is itunes sourced and works fine.

iTunes sourced music here, too. No problems, except I need to down convert to less than or equal to 320kbps. I have a mix of old mp3, some wma, mostly m4a.

I have allmost all my iTines library in m4a loosless. How can I listen to this music in my new Nokia 920? To go through all and downconvert to mp3, then delete all m4a versions...?

Convert to WMA-Lossless?

However with me, the phone doesn't handle it too well. Every so often it would pop up saying "Cannot play this file," and it would play the next WMA-L file, but then I could just swipe back and play the file that started the error. And, when listening to music over the speaker, it has a deafening pop whenever you start playing, rewind, fast forward, switch tracks, etc...

I just converted my entire WMA-L library to MP3 and am enjoying a much better music experience.
