How do I play and convert AAC/MP4/M4A files and listen to AAC+ Internet radio streams?

You need to install the AAC input plugin, which can be downloaded from our Plugins section.

If you can't play some AAC/MP4/M4A files even after you (properly) installed the AAC input plugin, then those files are probably DRM-protected and can't be played with Spider Player.

MIDI files are playing, but no sound coming out. Why is that?

You have no MIDI SoundFont loaded. There are a lot of free SoundFonts available on the Internet. Just perform a search and download one.

Once you have a SoundFont, in Spider Player go to the Options (Alt+O shortcut) -> Sound -> MIDI SoundFont and press the Replace... button to select a SoundFont you've just downloaded. Now you should be able to play your MIDI files.
