I have ITunes Match......

I matched my songs.....deleted them on my Mac....then downloaded them from the cloud.

It works great on Itunes and the file format says "Matched AAC Audio File"

Though, if I drag a song from Itunes and put it on my desktop, it's saved as a m4a. Why?

This has become a problem because my Ipod Nano 2nd wont allow me to upload the m4a. I tried changing the extention to .aac but even though I was able to upload to the Nano, the Nano restarts when it tries to play the song.

I know I could convert the m4a to mp3 but the idea with Itunes Match was to get a real good aac version. I'd rather not convert to an inferior file type.
 
Resolved

I was able to drag playlist to Ipod in Itunes and all songs play correctly now.

The problem I had was trying to drag songs via Xplay onto the Ipod. Didn't work right.

Now that there is no DRM on ITunes I can use ITunes.
