Does converting M4A to MP3 lose quality?
Both are compressed formats, so converting loses a little detail. At 192 kbps or higher the difference is not audible for most recordings.
Why won’t some iTunes or Apple Music songs convert?
Songs with copy protection (DRM) cannot be decoded by the browser. Songs you bought without DRM, voice memos and your own recordings convert normally.

If the file only plays on Apple devices, M4A is fine and slightly smaller. Convert to MP3 when a car stereo, an older player, a website or a Windows app refuses M4A.
