Title:
  Banshee doesn't recognise metadata in wma and m4a music files.

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In a clean Ubuntu 11.10 install, I started using banshee instead of
  rhythmbox, and once the music library scan was completed, I realized
  that many files were displayed as "Unknown artist" and "Unknown
  album". Also, the song title was the file name (without the
  extension). This behavior seems to happen only with wma or m4a files.
  Metadata from regular mp3 and ogg music files seems to work
  flawlessly.

  Maybe banshee doesn't support these files, but then it lets me edit
  the song information, which doesn't make sense. The metadata is there,
  but banshee just doesn't read it.

  Is there any solution?

  I'm using ubuntu 11.10 amd64 and banshee 2.2.0-1ubuntu2
