What about support on other platforms?

Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the .m4a support on other platforms:

Android: .m4a files are natively supported on Android (4.1 and above), and should work well with file_picker. However, I will perform additional testing to ensure seamless integration.

iOS: Since .m4a is part of Apple’s AAC format, it’s natively supported on iOS devices. This format is commonly used and works reliably with iOS apps.

Windows: .m4a files are generally supported on Windows 10 and above due to built-in media capabilities. I will verify if file_picker handles .m4a correctly on Windows.

macOS: Native support for .m4a is excellent on macOS, with Finder and Quick Look providing easy access and playback. I will confirm compatibility with the plugin.

Web: Modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all support .m4a playback. I will ensure file_picker correctly handles these files in web applications.

Additionally, for Linux, .m4a files are generally supported by most modern distributions, especially when the necessary codecs (like those from GStreamer or FFmpeg) are installed.

Will be added in the next version. Thanks.
