M4A (AAC in an MP4 container) is the format Apple uses for iTunes and Apple Music. It sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate and is widely supported on modern devices. MP3 is the most universally compatible audio format. It uses lossy compression to make small files that play on virtually any device, app or website. Both formats are compressed; converting re-encodes the audio to MP3 for better compatibility and a comparable file size.
