What is M4A (MPEG-4 Audio)?
M4A is an audio file format that uses the MPEG-4 audio codec, commonly associated with Apple's iTunes and iPod devices. It is similar to MP3 but offers better compression and higher audio quality.
M4A files are typically used for storing songs, podcasts, and other audio content. Unlike MP3, M4A files often do not contain the same level of compression, which can result in higher quality audio.
How to open M4A?
M4A files can be opened with Apple's iTunes, QuickTime Player, or Music app on macOS and iOS devices. On Windows, you can open M4A files using iTunes or Windows Media Player if the proper codecs are installed.
For Android users, M4A files can be played with various audio player apps, such as VLC Media Player or other third-party apps that support the format.
M4A is Developed by: Apple Inc.
