What is M4A?

Before explaining to you what the M4A format precisely is, we must tell you it's part of the MPEG family. It's actually the younger and improved "brother" of the MP3 format.

That said, the MPEG-4 is a multimedia format that contains both compressed video and audio. The MPEG-4 is commonly known as MP4, the famous compressed video format. Therefore, M4A and MP4 files are the same in a sense. But there is a difference: M4A are audio-only files, whereas the MP4 files contain both audio and video. The reason behind the name change was to differentiate the video MPEG-4 files from the audio-only MPEG-4 ones.

Developed by Apple in 2001, M4A uses Advanced Audio Coding (or AAC) to encodes audio and achieve lossy compression, which reduces size files a lot. However, you can find lossless M4A files, which use Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) to keep audio quality immaculate. But when talking about the M4A format, people commonly speak about compressed audio files, as this format is more used for that.

And if you're wondering how standard this format is, consider that the iTunes store provides songs in this format. Likewise, most devices support M4A files natively.

M4A vs. MP3

Which is better?

MP3 is the universal king of formats when it comes to usage. Even today, MP3 is the most used format for music and audio distribution. However, not for that is the best audio format out there.

Created as the successor to the MP3, the M4A format is qualitatively better than its predecessor in many things. For starters, the audio-only MPEG-4 files show a better audio quality than MP3 files at the same bitrate. In other words, M4A files sound better than MP3 ones. And it has other advantages over the classic MP3 format, like:

• M4A counts with better compression technology. That allows that M4A files are smaller than MP3, even when at the same bitrate. This means that M4A offers better audio quality at a smaller size than MP3.
• It supports lossless compression.
• It allows encryption (An encrypted M4A file takes the .M4P file extension).
