Personally, I am an audiophile so I except nothing less than lossless regardless of format and except nothing less than a software package to rip discs as intricate as the aforementioned two.Īny bitrate less than 320 KBPS should be considered an insult to anybody's ears no matter whether or not they can discern bitrates for themselves. If obtaining physical copies is not an option, it is not worth the attempt to streamline. The most sensible option is to obtain physical copies of the media and make lossless copies and convert to whatever format of your choosing. Upsampling makes absolutely no sense when converting either but this is even more ridiculous. In summary, although you desire to play audio files regardless of device, converting from lossy to ANYTHING is the utmost worst idea within the realm of digital audio conversion.
Using X Lossless Decoder commonly abbreviated XLD, one can easily prove my statements. Whilst not nearly as efficient as Monkey's Audio, it is still lossless and to prove this, the checksums would certainly match if you generated one for a WAV file before compressing it then after decompressing the M4A file to another WAV file.
The type of codec of choice if I was to use M4A is called Apple Lossless Audio Codec commonly abbreviated ALAC. It is more common for consumers to use MPEG-4 audio in an M4A container which is absolutely lossy.
Containers can contain different types of audio streams.
