It is a type of audio file that is encoded using Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC).M4A was developed to help store a variety of file types, such as audiobooks, podcasts, and songs. Additionally, it is considered a superior alternative to MP3. Some of the benefits of using M4A include: - Easy editing and transfer of M4A files due to their unprotected audio file format. - M4A files come with enhancements that improve sound quality. |

Description | 🔵 AAC is a proprietary format with lossy compression that was created as an alternative to MP3, offering higher quality coding. Frequencies beyond human perception are removed during compression. AAC files are half the size of MP3 files, containing only 1/10 of the digital data found on a CD.This format has been widely used since 1997, as the seventh release in the MPEG-2 family. It is supported by hardware players and highly favored by music fans. AAC has become particularly popular in Apple products and is the default format used in iTunes. |
Technical details | 🔵 The format concept is similar to MP3, but more advanced. It has the ability to achieve greater compression, making it a separate part of the MPEG-4 standard used to create smaller audio files. AAC is highly efficient, supporting variable and continuous bitrate, with a sampling frequency of 8-96 kHz.The current version complies with the ISO/IEC 14496-3 standard. Compression is based on the auditory masking effect, allowing for data reduction without compromising sound quality. |
