"I record interviews on my iPhone. This tool converts them to MP3 so I can upload them to my transcription software. Lifesaver."
"Had some old M4A tracks from iTunes that wouldn't play on my new deck. Converted them here and they work perfectly."
"Super fast. Converted my whole voice memo lecture series in a few minutes."
M4A (MPEG-4 Audio) is Apple's standard container for AAC audio. While highly efficient, it lacks the universal support of MP3. Our conversion enginebridges this gap without sacrificing audio integrity.
We use a dedicated AAC Decoder to parse the M4A container, extract the raw audio stream, and then re-encode it using the industry-leading LAME V3.100 engine at 320kbps CBR.
Our system also inspects the MP4 atoms (metadata storage) to clone essential tags like Song Name, Artist, and Album Year directly into the new MP3's ID3v2 header.
Native handling of AAC-LC and HE-AAC profiles found in M4A files.
Reads standard MPEG-4 metadata atoms for accurate tag copying.
Unlock your iTunes library for use on any non-Apple device.
M4A stands for "MPEG-4 Audio". It usually contains audio encoded with AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), which was designed to be the successor to MP3. At low bitrates, AAC sounds better than MP3.
However, MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) remains the king of compatibility. Every digital device made in the last 25 years can play an MP3. When you convert M4A to MP3, you are trading a small amount of theoretical efficiency for maximum practical utility.
Advanced Audio Coding. The coding standard used inside M4A files.
A unit of data in an MPEG-4 file, used to store metadata like atoms in a molecule.
The amount of data used per second of audio. 320kbps is the high-quality standard for MP3.
Converting from one lossy format (AAC) to another (MP3). Ideally done at high bitrates.
A data container within an MP3 file that holds the song's artist, title, and album info.
Digital Rights Management. Anti-copy protection often found on older iTunes files.
This tool cannot convert DRM-protected ".m4p" files (like from Apple Music). It only works on standard ".m4a" files.
Since you are re-encoding, choose 320kbps or 192kbps to minimize generation loss. Avoid 128kbps if possible.
Great for iPhone Voice Memos! Converting them to MP3 makes them playable on any PC.
