m4a

MPEG-4 audio files with M4A file extension usually contain digital audio stream encoded with AAC or ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) compression standards. They're most often found in Apple's iTunes Store as the format of song downloads. M4A files are similar to MPEG-4 video files (MP4s) since they both use the MPEG-4 container format, the main difference being that M4A files can only hold audio data.
