 What are aac / m4a / mp4 / m4b files? AnalogDuck.com
That is because m4a says, "This is an audio mpeg4 file", to you for your sake, not the computers, because the data is the same.
You can safely rename m4a files as mp4, and vice versa so long as the mp4 file is an audio-only file.
I have had multiple instances where M4A files I have ripped in WinAmp have suddenly become un-playable after I have edited the tags within WinAmp.

 dbpowerAMP - .m4a to mp3 and bitrates?
If the original sources for the m4a files is unavailable, then I would recommend that Kada try converting a few m4a files at 192 kbs to mp3 at 192 kbs, at around 220 kbs and around 240 kbs, and maybe at 160 kbs.
Likewise, if you convert the m4a file to mp3 at 320 kbs, you should expect to find a better copy of the m4a file than the two other mp3 files (at 64 kbs and at 160 kbs).
If Kada were to take m4a files ripped at 192 kbs with mp3 files ripped from the same sources at 192 kbs, Kada might find no significant difference between the two.

Hi all, m4a is going to replace mp3 in the very near future (higher sound quality/lower file size) and you folks should get on supporting it real soon.
JetAudio is a fantastic player, the best in my opinion, but settings should be saved/loaded so a fatal error wont revert everything back to the default settings and a m4a patch should be in the works.

 OS X Hax: More info on m4a & m4p files
The "stsd" section of an m4a file seems to typically contain a "mp4a" section that appears to have information concerning the average bitrate and stuff like that.
In the meantime, if your goal is just to be able to share your m4a files (encoded from CDs or what not) with Windows machines, just rename them mp4 and play them from Windows Quicktime 6.1 (or, of course, extract the AIFF from them on the mac).
Leaving it as an m4a file means that it is in a completely open format with which you can do anything you want (except put it on kazza - hymn leaves your iTMS identity intact within the file's meta data).

 VideoHelp.com :: View topic - MP4, AAC, M4A differences
The M4A is only an invention of the Apple, is the same of an MP4 with only audio (the MP4 that you can encode with Nero are MP4, and not M4A), the tag of M4A are stored as the chapters in rhe MP4 movies of Nero Recode 2, with an MP4 features called user space.
m4a and mp4 are the same cointainer...apple (maybe others as well, I don't know) calls it m4a when the multimedia content is audio only, I gather, just for the sake of simplicity (so you know that when you see an.m4a file it's an audio file).
And M4A is an invention of Apple (so I can understand why my friend with ITune makes M4A and I make MP4 with Nero Recode).

 WINAMP.COM Forums - M4A plugin (AAC encoded by iTunes)
m4a is a renamed mp4 file and is supported by the faad2 plugin, apple uses the m4v extension for mp4 files that contain video
This is probably true, but if you use both plugins, those (rare) files with other profiles are still played back with the faad plugin, because they never have a.m4a but a.mp4 or.aac extension.
If you want Winamp to make use of said alac decoder/ds filter, then you'll need to add ;M4A to the Extension List in the DirectShow Decoder (in_dshow) config.

look for an app called "hymn" to remove the DRM from the m4a files, then as long as your player supports the playback you wont need to convert to the inferior mp3 format.
WMP10 can play non-DRM protected AAC (m4a) files.

Decodes all mp4, m4a (containing acc, HE-AAC, also known as aac+ or Apple Lossless).
Also using the.m4a container is Apples Lossless format (ALAC), this format is like WinZip for audio and looses no audio quality to compression (unlike aac which is lossy, audio tracks purchased from Apples iMS store are lossy aac).

The iTunes m4a file encoder for 128 kbps is excellent (the resulting file, that is -- I don't use iTunes as a player at all).
For example, 128 kbps often sounds fine in aac (mp4, m4a are the same, but with a different transport) while mp3s at 128 kbps usually do not.
If you encode to mp3 with any LAME v3.90 or later -based encoder (no special switches are needed of LAME when encoding; gapless is achievable by default), playback is as if you were playing from a CD.
