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.

M4R Audio Format M4R Converter
The M4R format is an iPhone Ringtone File. The format was developed by Apple, and you can create M4R files using Apple iTunes. M4R files are similar to M4A music tracks, but they are clipped to 30 seconds to be used as ringtones. Once you create or download an M4R file and sync your iPhone, the track should automatically go into your ‘Sounds and Haptics’ library with all the other ringtones, rather than your main music library. You can also manually add M4R files while your phone is connected to another device.
If you’ve created an M4R file from a downloaded iTunes track, it’s probably protected by digital rights management (DRM), which stops you from sharing it with other users. If an M4R file does not have DRM protection, you can usually play it with VLC Media Player.
