M4A to M4A: Re-encode M4A(MPEG-4 Audio) Audio with River Past Audio Converter, M4A2M4A converter, conversion

What is M4A?

Because of its exceptional performance and quality, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4, 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications and is the audio codec of choice for Internet, wireless and digital broadcast arenas. AAC provides audio encoding that compresses much more efficiently than older formats, such as MP3, yet delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.

To convert MPEG-4 audio to other formats, you need to have Apple QuickTime installed.

To encode MPEG-4 audio, you need to have River Past MPEG-4 Booster Pack in addition to your audio software.
