About M4A files
M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) is a high-quality audio format developed by Apple, based on the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) standard. It offers better sound compression than MP3 while maintaining excellent audio quality, making it ideal for music and podcasts. M4A files are often used in iTunes and Apple devices, supporting lossy compression with smaller file sizes than MP3 at similar quality levels. Though less universal than MP3, it is widely supported on modern devices and media players.
About ALAC files
ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is a lossless audio format developed by Apple, designed to compress audio files without sacrificing sound quality. It maintains the full fidelity of the original recording while reducing file sizes, making it ideal for music archiving and high-fidelity listening. ALAC is natively supported on Apple devices and iTunes, though it can also be played on other platforms with compatible software. While similar to FLAC in quality, ALAC is optimized for Apple's ecosystem and is a popular choice for users within that environment who want lossless audio without the larger file sizes of uncompressed formats like WAV.
