M4A is also a compressed format.

Hello all
I love love love the M4A format. As a hearing impaired person I find
this to be the best quality for audio. I find Mp3 somewhat compressed in
terms of quality, but that's understandable since Mp3 is a compressed
format. Go M4A! Lol!

I think MP3 is still a bit more ubiquitous than M4a, but you're right,
the popularity of iTunes has made M4A almost as ubiquitous as MP3. I
checked and Rockbox, Booksense and even the old MS Zune support M4A
files. I guess you could check anywhere else you may want to play your
music and make sure it supports M4A, but I suspect you'll find it does.
Just a minor nitpick directed at Ray, but I'd suggest dropping the
gratuitous negativity. Terms like craptop, crackberry and so on don't
portray the user of such terms in a very positive light. That's just my
opinion, and if it doesn't mean anything to you, feel free to ignore it.

Hi,
I don't think they need to be converted. There is no difference in
fidelity from M4a to mp3 in my opinion. And since iTunes is the
number 1 music store in the world, almost all devices and media
players support M4a files.

After making progress with 911 scanner and tune in radio, I gave in
to my curiosity about
downloading music. Found an album and downloaded it through the
phone. Oops! Maybe? Looking at
the extensions they were M4A. Was there something I missed and would
they have downloaded as MP3 had
I downloaded them through the craptop? Thinking about it this may be
one where apple arbitrarily
decided "we're apple and we know what's best for you." So, How can
they be converted with as little
loss of fidelity as possible? The subjective element of that
question is do they need to be?
