While there isn't a singular "official" review for a file with this name, as it is usually a personal user recording, Technical Performance of M4A
: M4A files can sometimes be smaller than MP3s due to more efficient compression, though they can also be larger if high-quality lossless encoding (ALAC) is used.
“Windows sound recorder saves in m4a format now. I remember back when you could choose which format you save in... now it is m4a, good luck.” Reddit · r/acting · 3 years ago
“M4A has a higher bitrate & better sound quality for the same filesize... but it is still not as universally used as MP3.” Fiddle Hangout · 4 years ago
: M4A files, often encoded with the AAC codec , provide better sound quality than MP3 at the same bit rate. This is especially noticeable at bit rates of 128 kbps or higher, where M4A exhibits less "artifacting".
