• Smaller File Size: M4A files are compressed, resulting in significantly smaller file sizes compared to WAV files.
• Better Compatibility: M4A is widely supported across various devices and platforms, making it easier to share and play.
• Enhanced Audio Quality: Despite the compression, M4A maintains high audio quality, often indistinguishable from the original WAV file.
• Metadata Support: M4A files can store metadata such as album art, track names, and artist information, enhancing the listening experience.
• Efficient Streaming: The smaller size and efficient compression of M4A make it ideal for streaming over the internet without sacrificing quality.

• Check Bitrate: Ensure the bitrate of your WAV file matches your desired M4A output to maintain audio quality.
• Use Batch Conversion: If you have multiple files, use Descript's batch conversion feature to save time and effort.
• Adjust Sample Rate: Match the sample rate of your WAV file with the M4A format to avoid any potential audio discrepancies.
• Enable Metadata: Make sure to enable metadata options during export to retain important information like track names and artist details.
• Preview Before Export: Always preview the audio in Descript before finalizing the export to catch any errors or issues early.
