M4A — MPEG-4 Audio File
| File extension | .m4a |
|---|---|
| File category | audio |
| Programs | Apple iTunes VLC media player Windows Media Player foobar2000 Winamp |
| Tech description | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4A |
| MIME type | audio/mp4 audio/x-m4a |
| Developer | Apple Inc. |
M4A is an audio-only file container based on the MPEG-4 standard, introduced by Apple in 2004. The .m4a extension distinguishes audio-only files from .mp4 files that contain video. M4A files are most commonly encoded with the AAC codec, offering better audio quality than MP3 at the same file size. Lossless encoding using Apple Lossless (ALAC) is also possible within the M4A container. M4A is the default format for music purchased from the iTunes Store and Apple Music. It is natively supported on all Apple devices, and plays on Android, Windows, macOS, VLC, foobar2000, and Windows Media Player.

| Developer | Fraunhofer Society |
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a lossy audio compression format developed by Fraunhofer IIS in Germany and standardized in 1993. It achieves compression ratios up to 10:1 by removing audio data deemed imperceptible by the human ear, using a psychoacoustic model. Users can set the bitrate — typically 128 to 320 kbps — to balance file size and audio quality. MP3 is the world's most universally supported audio format, compatible with virtually every media player, smartphone, smart TV, and car audio system. Despite newer alternatives like AAC and Opus offering better quality at the same bitrate, MP3 remains the standard for music distribution and storage.
