Automated application patching for Microsoft Intune. Pckgr keeps a curated library of 1,000+ apps continuously up-to-date in your tenant via Microsoft Graph — no manual repackaging, no chasing vendor sites.
See Pckgr's app librarySuccessor to mp3, m4a was championed by iTunes, .m4a is used for audio, whilst .mp4 is for
video. Internally m4a can store many sub-formats:
- Apples Lossless (know also as ALAC or ALE) this format is like Zip for audio, no
audio quality is lost, audio decompresses identical to the source.
- Advanced Audio Compression (AAC), is a lossy compression like mp3, audio quality is
sacrificed to gain smaller file sizes. There are many types of AAC: LC (low complexity),
HE (high efficiency), m4p (Apples encrypted).
Currently audio purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store is lossy AAC.
