The M4A file format is an audio file format that stands for MPEG 4 Audio. It is commonly used for storing audio data, especially in Apple's iTunes and iPod. M4A files are known for their high-quality sound and efficient compression, making them a popular choice for music and podcasts.

On the other hand, the DOCX file format is a document file format used by Microsoft Word. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite and is widely used for creating and editing text documents. DOCX files can contain text, images, tables, and other elements, making them versatile for various document types.
