Frequently Asked Questions about converting M4A to text
-
What is an M4A File?
M4A is a file extension for the MPEG-4 Audio format. An M4A file can contain both audio and video, but is more commonly used for audio-only files.
M4A files are similar to MP3s, but they’re not exactly the same. They’re lossy compressed, so you’ll notice some degradation in quality compared to uncompressed formats like WAV or FLAC. However, they’re still very good at preserving audio fidelity while saving space on your hard drive.
Because of this difference in compression, M4A files will typically take up less space than MP3 files of the same length or bitrate. The exact amount of storage savings will depend on whether you’re using lossless or lossy compression and which bitrate you select when creating your M4A file.
