M4A is Apple's audio format using AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) compression. It's the default format for iTunes purchases, Apple Music downloads, and iPhone voice recordings. M4A offers better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate.

Why Compress M4A?

iPhone Voice Memos

iPhone Voice Memos saves as M4A. Compressing makes recordings smaller for email, cloud backup, or archiving.

iCloud Storage

Smaller M4A files sync faster and use less iCloud storage.
