How to play M4A sound files

MP3 and M4A are digital audio file extensions.

MP3 was a previous audio file extension. MP3 players come pre-installed in almost all Android phones, laptops and desktops.

M4A is a more recent audio file extension. M4A players are meant for Apple products, but they can be downloaded and played in Android phones.

M4A is a lighter and clearer version of MP3, and has a smaller footprint.

M4A files will require an M4A player.

You need to use an M4A player to listen to M4A files.

Don't convert your M4A files to MP3 because it will make the files heavier and less clearer.

Here are some suggestions where to download M4A players for Android:

You only need to download one M4A player to your Android phone to play sound files, such as recorded voice or downloaded music from Facebook (which was recorded live at home).

Once you have installed an M4A player on your Android phone, just click on any of your sound files to listen to them. There is no need to search for the downloaded M4A player on your phone.
