I. Introduction of M4A and WAV formats

About M4A

The M4A file extension signifies the MPEG-4 audio standard. Apple was instrumental in promoting the “.m4a” extension by integrating it within iTunes and iPods, distinguishing it from MPEG4 video files. Presently, nearly all software capable of playing MPEG4 audio are also compatible with the “.m4a” format.

About WAV

The WAV format, designed by Microsoft, stands as a prominent audio file format tailored for use on the Windows platform and is widely endorsed by a plethora of Windows applications. Renowned as the most universally compatible audio format, it garners extensive support from an array of audio software. Professionals in music editing and production often prefer WAV for its exceptional sound fidelity, rendering it a premier choice for the preservation of musical materials. Commonly, WAV files are encoded with PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation), which ensures that the audio is uncompressed and retains high-quality sound.

What WAV records is the sound itself, so it takes up a lot of hard disk space. The WAV format supports multiple audio bits, sampling frequencies and channels, so the file size is relatively large, and it is not suitable for long-term recording.

II. How to Convert M4A to WAV

There are many ways to convert M4A to WAV, here are some commonly used conversion methods for you.
