Convert M4A to MP3
Convert iPhone voice memos and iTunes M4A tracks into MP3s that play on any device.
What happens when you convert M4A to MP3
Converts Apple's M4A — usually AAC audio in an MP4 container — into MP3 at 192 kbps. AAC is technically the better codec, but MP3 is the one that plays on absolutely everything, which is normally why people make this trip.
Good for
- Playing iTunes or Voice Memos recordings on older car stereos and players
- Uploading to services that accept MP3 only
- Sharing with someone whose software will not open M4A
Worth knowing
- This is a lossy-to-lossy conversion; some quality is spent to gain compatibility.
- Files may end up slightly larger than the M4A at similar perceived quality, since AAC is more efficient.
- DRM-protected purchases cannot be converted and will fail to decode.
