What is M4A?
M4A
M4A is MPEG-4 Audio container typically storing AAC or ALAC compressed audio. Part of MP4 family using .m4a extension for audio-only files. Supports metadata tagging, chapter markers, and album artwork. Better quality than MP3 at equivalent bitrates when using AAC codec. Default format for iTunes purchases and Apple Music downloads. Maximum 6GB file size.
- M4A encodes audio using lossy compression at various bitrates
- Lossy source limits OGG quality ceiling—cannot restore removed frequencies
- Sample rate and bit depth preserved or downsampled for OGG compatibility
