Yep, actually that is the simplest of the changes to be made - just
another case in the file extension checking. Back at the dawn of time
when Jörg and I were first playing with this stuff there was only the
Archos to worry about. =)

If you want to change that yourself right now, open the voiceUtils.vbs
script in a text editor and look for this function:

'===============================================================================
' Function to determine whether a given file is to be voiced or not.
' Edit the file name matching rules below as you see fit
'===============================================================================

function isVoiced(Name)

   isVoiced = false

'--- General case

   If ((LCase(Right(Name,3))="mp3") or _
       (LCase(Right(Name,3))="m3u") or _
       (LCase(Right(Name,3))="cfg")) Then

     isVoiced = true

   End If

end function 'isVoiced

and change it to this (I'm only doing the LCase and Right once now,
since we're starting to have enough choices for it to matter):

function isVoiced(Name)

   Dim extension

   isVoiced = false

'--- General case

   extension = LCase(Right(Name,3))

   If ((extension="mp3") or _
       (extension="m3u") or _
       (extension="flac") or _
       (extension="ogg") or _
       (extension="wav") or _
       (extension="m4a") or _
       (extension="mp4") or _
       (extension="cfg")) Then

     isVoiced = true

   End If

end function 'isVoiced

Or you can just wait for an update. =)
