About M4A
MPEG-4 Audio
An audio-only MPEG-4 file, the format iTunes and Apple Music use. It usually holds lossy AAC and sometimes lossless ALAC. Use it for iPhones, Macs and iTunes libraries, where it plays and tags natively.
About AAC
Advanced Audio Coding
The lossy codec standardized in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 as a successor to MP3, generally sounding better at the same bitrate. A .aac file is a bare ADTS stream without the MPEG-4 container an M4A has. Use it for players and streaming tools that want a raw AAC stream; for a music library, M4A holds the same audio with better tagging.
