Convert M4A Files

M4A files are similar to .MP4 files, but they do not store a video track, although both of them are compressed with the Apple Lossless Encoder. M4A is actually the audio-only version of the MP4 format.

Based on lossless compression which preserves the sound quality regardless of the compression degree, these files are used for sharing files over the Internet, but are not common for playback, therefore they need to be converted to other formats.

Originally developed by Apple, M4A files are also supported by several third-party applications that can be used to convert them to more common file formats.
