PRS-T1 Supported file types for downloading

chrisridd · 11-13-2011, 07:00 AM

The T1 claims to support AAC-encoded audio files using the .mp4 and .m4a extensions, and if I copy a couple on when the storage is mounted in USB mode, they play OK.

But I can't download them using the web browser - the T1 says the format is not supported!

Is that a bug (seems to me like one) or deliberate?

I wonder what other supported formats don't work for downloading?

It may be a problem with the MIME type on the server.

Good call. RFC 4337 says it should be "audio/mp4" and Dropbox (the server I was using) returns "audio/x-m4a". I'll ask Dropbox support if they can change this.
