M4A files can be a bit difficult to play on some devices, especially if they don’t support the format. Luckily, there’s an easy solution: converting them to MP3. In this guide, we’ll show you how to convert an M4A file to an MP3 file using VLC media player.
To get started, open up your web browser and search for “VLC media player.” This free tool has been around for over 20 years and is primarily used for viewing media, but you can also use it to convert files. Once you’ve found the official website, download and install the program on your computer.
After installing VLC media player, open it up and go to “Media” in the top left corner. Then, select “Convert/Save” and click the “Add” button to choose the M4A file you want to convert. Once you’ve selected the file, click “Convert/Save” again and you’ll be taken to the conversion menu.
Under “Profile,” choose the MP3 format (or another format if you prefer). Then, click “Browse” under “Destination” to choose where you want to save the converted file. Make sure to remove the “4A” from the file name and replace it with “mp3” or the file format of your choice. Finally, click “Start” to begin the conversion process.
Once the conversion is complete, you’ll have a new MP3 file that you can play on any device that supports the format. And that’s it! With this simple guide, you can easily convert M4A files to MP3 and enjoy your music or audio files on any device.
