The m4a files in the download you provided definitely crash the thumbnail generator and also cause tons of errors in MPD log when playing. This suggests some sort of issue resulting from the way they were created/ripped.

Note that the iTunes M4A files that I have in my test collection, both in AAC and ALAC format work fine with thumbnail generator and MPD. No errors whatsoever. They were all created in iTunes or provided by users who created or downloaded them via iTunes.

Here's some analysis showing the various issues in the files you provided.

Tim beat me to it.

Two of the nine tracks contain 4 'objects', the rest 2 as Tim remarked.

The different contents cause the file command to sees your tracks differently from the way it sees my test files.

Example,


Code:
pi@moodeY:/mnt/SDCARD/This Is Happening $ file 01*
01 Dance Yrself Clean.m4a: ISO Media, MP4 v2 [ISO 14496-14]

vs

Code:
pi@moodelr:/media/MUSIC/SampleTracks/Hyperion/Orchestral $ file 18*M4A
18 MacCunn The Lay of the Last Minstrel - Part 2 Final chorus O Caledonia! stern and wild.M4A: ISO Media, Apple iTunes ALAC/AAC-LC (.M4A) Audio


What I'm seeing doesn't mean your files are incorrect from an MPEG4 container point of view, only that they are different in structure from what I'm familiar with. The metadata editor AtomicParsley, for example, has no problem reading and parsing all the 'atoms' in these files and as you've observed, the coverart is viewable in other tools.

I agree with Tim that attempting to convert these tracks is probably the most expedient thing to do next.

Regards,
Kent

You could try converting the files to FLAC or some other format using an appropriate utility and see if the issues go away.

"I am in the process of re-converting the files that do not show the work art to FLAC: I will let you know how this goes [Image: wink.png]"

That isn't necessary or recommended (by me).  I have thousands of AAC and ALAC files that all work fine and display artwork, and almost all were created using XLD.

One of the problems with FLAC is that its tagging ("FLAC tags" are also called "Vorbis comments") is so loosey-goosey, with no set of standard, minimum, or required tags.  By contrast, AAC/ALAC tagging is quite well defined by Apple.  

I think that it would be better to fix the files than just convert them to some other format.
Cheers,

...and I can match your thousands of AAC and ALAC files with my thousands of FLAC files from a variety of sources, ripping tools and metadata editors. They all play fine and display cover art in moOde. Big Grin

How would you suggest the OP "fix" his .m4a files?

@Miss Sissy Princess 
The FLAC specification looks quite complete to my eyes.

FLAC codec and associated utilities from xiph.org are IME the most widely used in Linux audio precisely because of their high quality implementations, efficient algorithms and well defined specifications.

ALAC is typically only found in collections where iTunes is or was used. Even after Apple released the ALAC specification back in 2011 as Open Source the adoption rate has been almost nil in the Linux audio community because FLAC has been in use since 2001 and was already a proven winner with high quality implementations, speed, efficiency and metadata support.

Oddly Apple still does not support FLAC in the iTunes / Apple Music eco system while most Linux audio players support a wide variety of formats including ALAC.
Enjoy the Music!

The FLAC specification looks quite complete to my eyes.

Just a quick update: I went through my collection and found 1%-2% missing art work, mostly in AIFF files, even if most were fine. After the conversion, I only have a handful of issues out of hundreds of albums, and all for different reasons that I am solving now Wink
