They just released i-tunes m4a and aac support today, but you have to pay $1 for it because of licensing issues. I find that kind of annoying, but paid for it anyway since it's a one man developer and he really appears to have been working overtime to update this game and keep it in good shape with other updates.

Also, if you dislike the fact that your music is not kept at a constant volume, you can change that with a simple text file. That and other options are explained here:

Now that I have added these two updates, I am much happier with the game. The steam forums also have a stickied post about a workaround for using a standard joystick in case you don't have a 360 pad. I'm wanting to try that since I've just been playing with mouse and keyboard and the only pad I have is a Logitech.

Now that Steam has added Mac support and many indie developers are adding Mac support for their games, you might see this released for Mac in the future, but it currently is only on PC and Xbox360.

As far as transferring your mac music files to the 360, I don't think there should be a problem with that. I don't know how to do it though since I don't have a 360.

See if it works playing music files from a flash drive.

With a Mac I don't think it's possible. You can however burn audio discs and pop them into the 360 and rip the tracks...
