M4A Audio Format M4A Converter
M4A files are an extension of the MP4 container format (MPEG-4 or Moving Picture Experts Group-4). Originally developed by Apple as a competing format to MP3, M4As are specifically used to store audio-only material such as podcasts, music, audiobooks and other auditory entertainment. You can open these files using Apple Music, VideoLAN VLC media player, Microsoft Windows Media Player and others.
M4A files are typically encoded with ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) or AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), compressing the files to produce smaller file sizes that retain high-quality sound. Due to their reduced file sizes, M4A files are a go-to format for sharing and downloading audio content, especially music downloaded from the Apple iTunes Store. You can play M4A files with most popular media players, including Apple Music, Apple Quicktime, Windows Media Player (if you add the K-Lite Codec Pack), Adobe Audition, and VLC.

FLAC Audio Format FLAC Converter
The FLAC file type is an open-source format for audio. The format uses lossless compression, and it’s usually used for playing and storing high-quality digital music. The name FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, and the format was released in the early 2000s by the Xiph.Org foundation as an alternative to formats like MP3. FLAC significantly reduces the size of an audio file, while delivering higher sound quality than some other formats. Many music lovers prefer to store and play their digital music in FLAC format.
The main drawback of FLAC as a digital music format is that it’s not universally supported, so you usually need to install extra software on your device in order to play the files. Most open-source media players, including VLC Media Player, MPlayer and Audacity, can play FLAC audio tracks.
