Closing as won't fix, there's not much we can do about this, we don't make the AAC encoder and for patent reasons we would have to pay fees to include a different encoder. Workaround: encode .m4as yourself with your own encoder.

damjancd I have found Audacity to be extremely useful in situations where it is difficult for C2 to convert audio files: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

DatapawWolf I don't have a problem since I extend the snippets of sound to 1 second so they work and convert stuff in CC Audition. it supports m4a conversion.
Ashley, ok, just wanted for folks to know about this then
