List of file sound extensions

I have been using a player called WinAmp and it plays just about everything I could throw at it including .m4a files.

What I don't understand is how Apple can charge you money to use their file extension. It boggles my mind

It's not the extension they charge for.

Video and audio compression have long been a minefield of patented algorithms.  The patent owners charge you for using their patented technology.

So, if the QB64PE staff was willing to pay Apple for their patented technology then it could be done!?

It could.  Do you want to sponsor the $10,000 per version release cost?
