How M4A differs from MP3

M4A is a media container that commonly holds AAC audio. MP3 is an older lossy audio format with exceptionally broad playback support. Changing the filename extension is not a conversion; the audio stream must be decoded and encoded in the new format.

A note about quality

M4A-to-MP3 conversion re-encodes the sound, so it cannot improve the original and may add a small amount of loss. Keep the M4A master when compatibility is not a problem and create an MP3 copy only when needed. The conversion never uploads your audio.
