Why convert ALAC to M4A?
ALAC — Apple's perfect-quality format. Built in on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
M4A — Apple's standard format for songs. Sounds a little better than MP3 at the same size.
ALAC keeps the song exactly as it was recorded. M4A makes a much smaller file by leaving out parts of the sound most people can't hear. At the standard quality setting, the difference is hard to notice for most listeners on most devices.
All of this happens right inside your web browser. Your file stays on your phone or computer the whole time.
