If you don't want to run from source as Kovid suggested in the the thread you linked, you can still do this using the Action Chains plugin as follows:

Action Chains > Manage Modules > create > paste the code below and press OK.

Code:

from calibre.ebooks import BOOK_EXTENSIONS

from calibre_plugins.action_chains.actions.base import ChainAction

class AddExtraFormats(ChainAction):

    name = 'Add Extra Formats'

    def __init__(self, plugin_action):
        ChainAction.__init__(self, plugin_action)
        global BOOK_EXTENSIONS
        BOOK_EXTENSIONS += ['mp3','mp4'] 

    def run(self, gui, settings, chain):
        pass

Restart calibre and you should see the mp3,mp4 added to list of formats in device configuration dialog.
Connect to your device inside calibre, then go to Device > Configure this device > tick the boxes for mp3 and mp4 formats, after which you will be asked to restart again.
