Firstly let me say thanks for the followup. Secondly – Wow. That’s not the response I like to hear from any vendor, especially seeing as the phone’s inbuilt RealPlayer can play them when renamed to .MPG

Whilst I believe it’s an Apple issue (seeing as most phones can’t play them, and devices like the Xbox 360 can’t either), what I would have liked to hear from Nokia is “we understand that this is important to our customers and will try and work with Apple to resolve”.

Oh well – am I expecting too much of the vendors whose products I buy?

Regards,

Shane.

Just heard back from Nokia support. Apparently, iTunes Plus files use some wierd AAC codec which isn’t supported on the phone, and nokia have no plans to support :(

Their only suggestion was to use the nokia pc-suite to re-encode the tracks to a different AAC codec, which the phone will then play.
