Cannot play m4a files after 1.4 update on Andriod

Pixel 7a running latest Android 13. Since the update to 1.4 a couple of days ago, when I try to play m4a files, I get an error for each file saying "invalid file format" which appears momentarily on the screen (see screenshot below). I can open any of the m4a files in VLC on the same phone and they play without problem, so the files themselves appear to be fine.

Please go to Media Library settings, remove all folders and re-add them.

Done that. Now my playlists have disappeared.

Playlists disappeared or are their contents unplayable?
Either way, fix is being worked on so you don't have to do re-add folders / your playlists keep working; will be released today.

Still, there are pretty horrible performance issues with folders added in the old version and re-adding them is *strongly* recommended.

Unfortunately there's just no easy way to fix playlists referencing old locations, so I'm re-enabling relevant code to keep playlists made with past versions working.
