Why lightweight files for mobile dj apps?
Mobile DJ apps run on devices with limited storage — a 64GB iPad fills up fast with uncompressed audio. M4A at 256kbps delivers quality that's perceptually transparent on mobile speakers and headphones, at about 1/10th the file size of WAV. It's also Apple's native audio format, so it integrates perfectly with iOS, iPadOS, and the Apple ecosystem. For mobile DJing scenarios — house parties, outdoor sets, backup rigs — M4A is the ideal balance of quality and practicality.

Frequently asked questions
- M4A vs MP3 for mobile DJing?
- M4A sounds better than MP3 at the same bitrate and is the native format on Apple devices. If you're using an iPad with djay or Traktor, M4A is the obvious choice. On Android, MP3 has broader support.
- What bitrate should I use?
- 192kbps M4A is the sweet spot — perceptually transparent quality with significant file size savings. Below 128kbps, quality starts to suffer on good headphones.
