What is a M4A file?
M4A stands for MPEG-4 Audio and is a popular audio format used for storing compressed audio files. Unlike MP3, M4A files often use AAC encoding, which provides better sound quality at similar file sizes. It was developed by Apple and is widely used in iTunes and iOS devices.
M4A files are typically used for music and podcasts, offering high efficiency and compatibility with modern players. Since they don't support digital rights management (DRM), they are preferred for unrestricted distribution of audio content.
How to open M4A files
M4A files can be opened with iTunes, QuickTime, VLC Media Player, and most smartphone music apps. They’re fully supported on macOS, iOS, and many Windows players.
To convert M4A to MP3 or WAV, use AnyConv for a fast and simple online conversion.

What is a MIDI file?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is not an audio file per se, but a protocol and file format that stores instructions for digital instruments — such as which notes to play and how long to hold them. It allows music to be played back using virtual instruments or hardware synthesizers.
MIDI files are extremely lightweight and widely used in music production, video games, and mobile ringtones. They can be edited easily and used with a variety of DAWs and notation software.
How to open MIDI files
MIDI files can be opened with music production software like FL Studio, Logic Pro, GarageBand, and MuseScore. Many media players can also play them using internal synthesizers.
You can convert MIDI to MP3 or WAV using AnyConv to make the music accessible as audio playback.
