Enhanced M4a not working in iTunes 11.0.3 & 11.0.4

Having just spent months prepping an enhanced podcast for launch, I find that it will not display art or links in iTunes 11.0.3 or 11.0.4.


My podcast was designed around the m4a format and it would be difficult to change.

Question 1: Am I missing something, can iTunes 11.0.3 & 11.0.4 display m4a?


Question 2: Will this be fixed?

It does work, but I suspect you've fallen over the irritating changes in operation in iTunes 11. In previous versions, you would see the images at the bottom of the sidebar (and see them change, so you knew there were chapter images), and if you clicked on it you could get a full-sized version.


From iTunes 11, you have to click on the small image which appears at the top of the window when you start playing an episode. In the very latest version of iTunes, this now only brings up the enlarged mini player which shows only one image; you have to command-click (Mac, and I suppose control-click in Windows) on the small image to see the full-sized and changing images.


This means that nobody knows that you have chapter images unless they take the trouble to do this. It's crackers.
