Questions about M4A and MP3.
Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.
M4A is what Apple devices produce by default: Voice Memos, GarageBand exports, older iTunes purchases. It's technically excellent — AAC beats MP3 at the same bitrate — but some car stereos, older players, editing tools, and upload forms only accept MP3. Converting fixes the compatibility problem at a small, usually inaudible quality cost.
