@jaybeee : Indeed. The addition of reading M4a is nice but not so much the fact that each file that you read, it extracts the .aac file and leaves it there, since it is the format in which the program works.
When I've had the need to work with m4a files in mp3directcut, I used the following small script: (it works by dragging the file into it, or by calling it with the full path of the file)
%DIRFFMPEG%\ffmpeg.exe -i %1 -acodec copy -vn %1.aac
echo Waiting for the changes...
pause
%DIRFFMPEG%\ffmpeg.exe -i %1.aac -acodec copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -vn %1.m4a
This intentionally leaves the original and the new file, but the script could delete it if needed. Basically, what the program is doing now is just the first ffmpeg command.
Note: it could also be modified so that it launches the program with the file automatically instead of the pause command:
%DIRMP3DC%\mp3DirectCut.exe %1.aac
