M4A is a container format that typically holds audio encoded with the AAC codec, but it can also contain other audio formats.
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a lossy audio codec designed to be the successor to MP3, offering better sound quality at the same bitrate or similar quality at lower bitrates.
Converting from M4A to AAC often involves extracting the audio stream from the M4A container and repackaging it as a standalone AAC file for better compatibility.
AAC is widely supported across platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, making it an excellent choice for portable devices and streaming services.
Converting M4A to AAC involves extracting the audio stream from the M4A container format and creating a raw AAC file. If the M4A already contains AAC audio, this process preserves the audio quality.
AAC files are typically compact and efficient, making them ideal for portable devices with limited storage.
AAC can be encoded at various bitrates, with higher bitrates (256kbps+) providing nearly transparent audio quality for most listeners.
This conversion improves compatibility with applications and devices that specifically require the AAC format.
AAC supports multichannel audio and high sampling rates, making it suitable for a wide range of audio content from music to podcasts.
Pro Tip: Converting from M4A to AAC can improve compatibility with certain applications that specifically require the AAC format. Since most M4A files already contain AAC audio, this conversion typically doesn't reduce audio quality.
While M4A can contain AAC audio, converting to a standalone AAC file can improve compatibility with certain devices and applications. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) provides excellent audio quality at small file sizes, making it ideal for portable devices, streaming, and when storage space is limited.
