M4A is a lossy audio format that is encoded using the AAC codec. The format is capable of storing different content like audiobooks, songs, podcasts, and more. When music and audio files are downloaded from the iTunes store, many are in M4A format. M4A files are smaller in size while retaining good audio quality.
On the other hand, AMR is also a compressed audio format, but it is majorly used for speech coding. Thus, when audio files are recorded using the mobile phone audio recorders, they are stored in AMR format. These files are used on GSM and UMTS and can be played on a smartphone.
