Part 1: Advantages of Transferring Audios from WAV to M4A

WAV is an audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. As the WAV file is lossless and uncompressed, the file size of WAV is large but it concludes more sound details and does not limit the codec. And when creating audios in WAV format, the quality will not be compressed. However, the size of audios in WAV file format could be large, which makes it not suitable to be saved in storage devices with limited space.

M4A is the file extension of MPEG-4 audio standard. “M4A” is used to separate audio-only MPEG-4 from MPEG-4 video. Currently, M4A files can be played in the software supporting MPEG-4 audios. The M4A file size is not large and the audio quality is not bad.

Compared with WAV, M4A provides the lossless audios but saves the storage space. As for audio quality, they could provide almost equal quality. On the other hand, WAV has a poorer compatibility in portable devices than M4A. Users could get a better compatibility after converting WAV to M4A.
