The 3rd Generation Audio (3GA) file format is the audio stream portion of a 3GPP multimedia container, and it is designed for 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile networks. Because 3GA files are heavily compressed and focused on narrowband signals, they are not suitable for music files.
By default, 3GA files open in VLC media player and QuickTime for Mac. 3GA files also open in the voice recorder applications of most mobile phones. Because it is common to use 3GA files for MMS messaging, most 3G mobile devices can open them.
Other programs that can open 3GA files include, Media Player Classic, RealPlayer, and MPlayer. If opening a 3GA file is problematic, then rename the file to include the extension “3GP” and try to open it again.

iPhone Audio is an M4A file encoded for Apple iPhone, containing AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container. AAC delivers noticeably better sound than MP3 at the same bitrate, which is why Apple adopted it as the default for the iTunes Store and for music on iOS. Choosing this preset produces a file the iPhone plays natively, with artwork and track tags intact.
On the phone, the file plays straight away in the Music, Voice Memos, or Files app — nothing extra is required.
To get the file onto the device, sync it through iTunes, the Finder on macOS, or iCloud Drive. On a computer the same M4A opens in iTunes, the Apple Music app, Windows Media Player, VLC media player, and every major web browser. For maximum compatibility with older devices, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
