3GPP is a multimedia container format created for third-generation (3G) mobile networks, designed so that phones could record, send, and play video and audio over limited wireless bandwidth. It is a simplified version of the MP4 container and normally carries H.263 or H.264 video with AMR or AAC audio. The closely related 3G2 format serves CDMA2000 networks instead.
Most desktop players open 3GPP without extra software. VLC media player is the most dependable, and Apple QuickTime plays it on macOS.
On Windows, Windows Media Player may need a codec pack, so VLC is usually quicker. Android and iOS devices play 3GPP natively, since the format was built for mobile in the first place. Because the video quality is deliberately low, converting old clips with our 3GP to MP4 tool makes them far easier to edit and share.

Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) is Apple’s lossless audio format, stored inside an M4A container. It compresses a recording to roughly half its original size while preserving every sample, so decoding returns audio identical to the source CD or WAV. ALAC is the natural choice for lossless libraries in the Apple ecosystem, and Apple released it as open-source in 2011, which broadened support well beyond its own devices.
On Apple devices, ALAC plays directly in the Music app, iTunes, or QuickTime with no setup at all.
Elsewhere, VLC media player, foobar2000, and Android all read ALAC. Since ALAC files carry the .m4a extension, they look identical to lossy AAC files in a file listing — check the track properties to tell them apart. To free up space or play the music on limited hardware, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
