Description🔵 The APE format, also known as Monkey's Audio, is an audio file format designed for break-even compression of audio data. This means that it compresses the original audio files without losing quality, unlike lossy compression formats such as MP3 or AAC. APE files save an exact copy of the original audio stream, allowing lossless audio playback after decompression. Although APE files are often larger in size than lossy compressed audio files, they generally offer better compression than traditional uncompressed formats such as WAV.
Technical details🔵 The APE (or Monkey's Audio) format is a lossless compressed audio file. It uses a compression method that allows you to compress audio files without loss of sound quality. APE files usually have the extension .ape. The APE technical file format includes a method of representing audio data using lossless compression.

Which other formats M4A can be converted into and why

M4A files may be a strong competitor to the MP3 file formats. Yet, this type of digital audio file format has many disadvantages, such as appearing as a data file (instead of a media or document), and low compatibility with some devices.

So, here are some of the other formats or alternatives to the M4A file format:

  1. 1. MP3
  2. 2 WAV
  3. 3. OGG
  4. 4. FLAC

One major reason why you might need to convert your M4A file is because it is a file extension, which means that only specific applications can open it. MP3 is supported by almost any device.

You may also want to convert it to AAC because it produces better sound quality, even at low bitrates.
