What is a AU file?
This type of file represents a simple audio file that was primarily common on NeXT systems and early Web pages. The AU file format was, at first, used by Sun or some similar Unix-based machine, but now, it can be opened with other audio programs as well. To reproduce this file format, you can use Nullsoft Winamp, Apple QuickTime Player, Microsoft Windows Media Player, RealNetworks, RealPlayer Cloud, or Adobe Audition CC. Although AU files are quite small and have poor sound quality, they store information in three sections. The first one is called header, with a maximum of 24 bytes. Next, there’s a variable-length annotation block. And last but not least, there’s the audio data itself.
What is a M4A file?
An audio file encoded with advanced audio coding, known as AAC, is called M4A or MPEG-4 audio file. Apple’s iTunes Store uses this file extension as the format of song downloads for storing audiobook content and digital music. This type of file format is unprotected, and protected ones are usually saved in M4P format. The key feature of every M4A file extension is that the quality of this audio is better, and file sizes smaller compared to MP3 files. In case you are wondering, programs that open M4A files include iTunes, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Roxio Popcorn, Toast, and Creator. Also, it’s good to know that some media players will only play M4A format when it’s renamed to MP4.
