About MPEG-4 audio (AAC)

M4A is AAC audio in an MP4 container — the format of iTunes and Apple Music purchases and of voice memos. It sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate but is less universally supported.

About MP3 audio

MP3 is the audio format everything understands. It is lossy but at 192 kbps or above the difference from the original is inaudible to most listeners.

What to expect

The audio is decoded and re-encoded with the codec of the target format. Choose 192 kbps or more for music.
