M4A vs MP3 — Decoding the Differences
M4A is an audio file created in the MPEG-4 format. Since Apple began using M4A in its iTunes Store as the default format for songs, it has become one of the most popular audio file types. It uses the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) codec, which was intended to be the successor to MP3. While M4A files generally have better sound quality and smaller file sizes than MP3s at the same bitrate, they lack the universal hardware support that MP3 enjoys.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) has been the king of digital audio for over three decades. It is a lossy format that uses psychoacoustic modeling to remove sounds that the human ear cannot perceive. This results in incredibly small file sizes. Because it has been around so long, every digital device on the planet — from the cheapest generic MP3 player to the latest smart fridge — can play MP3 files flawlessly.
