AAC/m4a question

I'm hoping someone can clarify another issue for me: I have read conflicting statements on the wavepad home site about whether it supports AAC/m4a music files. Can you edit music tracks that are in this format and/or edit a track that is in a different format (mp3) and then save it as AAC/m4a format in any version of wavepad sound editor? I have always used mp3 format for all my music in the past but keep hearing that AAC/m4a is the newer/better format as far as quality and space usage. Thanks again for your help!

Hi jokersphere83,

The current version of WavePad supports m4a files. However I would warn about converting your mp3 files to m4a. In this case you would be taking an already compressed file and then compressing it further using a different encoder. The result will be a decrease in quality. You would need to get a copy of the original source material in a lossless format (like from a CD or wav or FLAC) and then encode to m4a from that.

Regards,

Ben
