Simple! The resulting MP3 file will be extremely smaller than the starting track, therefore, at a volume that previously could only hold 20 music files, hundreds of MP3 tracks can be stored.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MP4_history_and_features\"><\/span>MP4, history and features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The release of MP4, or MPEG4 Part 14, dates back to the early 2000s, precisely to 2002, and is used for digital video and audio broadcasts, images, and subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>It is defined as a multimedia container in standard format or part of MPEG4 and does not have a standard information encoding method.<\/p>\n<p>MP4 technology is based on the Apple QuickTime MOV format with, in addition, support for different MPEGs and higher quality audio expressed in AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format.<\/p>\n<p>From all this it can be understood that MP4 can be audio, video or audio + video files at the same time, also considering the possible presence of images or subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>This is, for example, the most widely used format in the ever-evolving world of digital television and mobile video telephony.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the two extensions MP4 and M4A indicate the same type of file, what changes is only the extension and, in most cases, you can rename a specific file so that it is suitable for reading by the program.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_line_when_to_use_MP3_and_MP4\"><\/span>Bottom line: when to use MP3 and MP4?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, when should you choose an MP3 or MP4 format?<\/p>\n<p>In the event that your file is exclusively an audio track, to be listened to while you are running and to be played through a small portable device, it is good to convert your songs to MP3 format.<\/p>\n<p>This will take up less space on your device, preserve good audio quality, and can store many more songs in the player&#8217;s memory.<\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, the files you are interested in are videos, perhaps accompanied by audio, images and subtitles, and they will be played on a device with a screen, the format I recommend is undoubtedly MP4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MP3 and MP4, what are the differences?
