its a compression format invented by apple to protect
copyright non-sense through the itunes music store

you cant share them (from my experience) you have to be the
registered user of said itunes/ipod/etc to use them

its a way of protecting an investment of 99cents per

yay apple

aac-files:

It is the format iTunes music store uses, but not all are
copyprotected. You can rip music in iTunes in that format
and spread them like the plague. The quality is better than
mp3. A 128 m4a file is slightly better than a 192 mp3 file.

ok, thanks. I got a few m4a files and cant hear em in my mp3
player but I can listen to em on my computer. Anyone know of
a m4a to mp3 converter?

no point converting m4a to anything else... it'll make it
sound more compressed and shitty unless it's left as a wav,
possibly.

I had the same problem with .m4a files and I finally found
this converter. It's a little confusing at first, but once
you figure it out it is pretty easy. The music seems to
retain it's quality fairly well too. I converted all my m4a
files to mp3 and they sound as good as all my other mp3s.

You have to download the mp4 codecs
here:http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central.htm

You're gonna have to copy and past, cuz I cant seem to
figure out how to post a link :(
