This is because in the standalone aac version, there is no checking for file type. But in the combined version there is a checking of file type before doing action. Try this version I've attached instead. I added another item that looks for mp4 files. This should work. I can't check as I don't have any mp4 files.

By the way, I'm a member of the old farts club as well. I knew absolutely nothing about all of this stuff 2 years ago, but have learned a tremendous amount just from hanging out at this board (and people helping me out just like I answered your question) and the board over at [hydrogenaudio.org](http://hydrogenaudio.org) and dbpoweramp and squeezebox:

I essentially use dbpoweramp (ripping to FLAC (home use & archive) and converting to mp3 (mobile use)) \> mp3tag (tagging) \> foobar2000 (playing/organizing/some utilities) \> itunes (syncing with IPOD) or squeezecenter for playing through several squeezeboxes connected to home stereo system.

Just read a lot on these discussion boards and experiment. And always keep backups of your music files, just in case!
