Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4, .m4v, .m4a, .mp3, .mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software.

Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video.

How to search for an app that works with your file

M4a player mac free download - Free Mac Bluray Player, Mac Bluray Player, To M4A Converter, and many more programs. Download Easy M4A Converter for macOS 10.9 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. ‎Easy M4A Converter converts audio files of different formats to M4A. It supports over 20 formats for input, and it can also extract audio from video files, such as mp4 files.

M4a is native to Mac, iTunes and should play in Quicktime, but seems to be an orphaned file type and is poorly supported. I have a lot of lectures on online courses coming as m4a, with slides that play automatically with the teachers lecture. I have some M4A audio files, that I can't play on iTunes (e.g. Double click the file, and then iTunes fired up, the audio added to the library, but the play doesn't start. Tried double clicking on the audio on the library, still doesn't start the player). But when I open them in QuickTime, QuickTime can play it.

You might already have an app that supports the format of your file. If you don't know which of your installed apps to try, your Mac might be able to suggest one:

1. Control-click (or right-click) the file in the Finder.
2. From the shortcut menu that opens, choose Open With. You should see a submenu listing all of the other installed apps that your Mac thinks might be able to open the file.

If none of your installed apps can open the file, search the Internet or Mac App Store for apps that can play or convert the file:

• Include the name of the media format in your search. To find the format, select the file and press Command-I to open an Info window. The format might appear after the label Kind, such as ”Kind: Matroska Video File.”
• Include the filename extension in your search. The extension is the letters shown at the end of the file's name, such as .avi,.wmv, or .mkv.
