It seems the developer has no plans to support MPEG-4 audio files.
EnigmaCurry•6mo ago
Maybe try https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs
vindarel•6mo ago
It's a Common Lisp program for end users and I can literally use it in 3 clicks, thanks to its AppImage (for Linux x86-64). Good (and rare) stuff!

It's also impressive to see that the audio decoding is mostly done in CL, without bindings.

pjmlp•6mo ago
Kind of, given that Common Lisp is highly influenced by Interlisp-D, Lisp Machines, so naturally it has the necessary language features for such kind of low level coding.

when you have a thirst but only common lisp can quench it

cmus is also very cool, it’s a TUI. Paging through tracks in cmus blows iTunes out of the water.
shawn_w•6mo ago
If you read the fine print, the next significant release will be written in Common Lisp but the current releases are written in Crystal.
superdisk•6mo ago
Nice, last time I used this it was actually written in Crystal. I used it at the time to render VGM files, very handy and fast. Author is nice and responsive as well, I reported an odd issue with a VGM I had and she responded quickly.
