Converting M4A to WAV: what to know
M4A is converted to WAV for editing and audio programs that work only with uncompressed sound, and for devices and services that accept only WAV.
WAV keeps the sound exactly as it was in the M4A, with no new loss but no improvement either. The file becomes several times larger. If a program needs mono or a specific sample rate, set them in the settings.
M4A or WAV: which to choose?
M4A (MPEG-4 Audio)
M4A is an MPEG-4 audio file, usually AAC - the format of Apple Music, iTunes and iPhone voice memos.
Best for music and voice recordings in the Apple ecosystem.
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format)
WAV stores uncompressed audio: maximum quality, but about 10 MB per minute.
Best for recording, editing and working in audio editors.
What happens when converting M4A to WAV
Converting to WAV will not restore the quality lost in M4A - the file will only get bigger. It makes sense when a program requires WAV.
Trim the fragment, convert stereo to mono or change the sample rate.
M4A files up to 512 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
