I have recently acquired some audio that is in an .m4a format and I would like to know how to best LOSSLESSLY change them into .ogg .mp3 .wav or .wma.
Can anyone help?

Woah
iTunes can convert m4a, I believe. I don't know how good that is, though.

If I recall correctly, wavepad can mess with it. And yes, m4a is fucking annoying and everyone should just stick with mp3 and wav.
None.
Relatively ancient and inactive
Why wav? I was under the impression that it took up a hell of a lot more space than other formats.
None.
Yeah, it does because it's a lossless "raw" format. It's just so commonly used that's convenient and easy to work with; convert it to whatever filetype you want with pretty much any program.
None.
I went through some of the stuff in wavepad, but it's saying that they're corrupted or an unreadable format.
How do I know if it's the program's problem or the music being corrupted?

Convert it with something else. If it is corrupted, then it isn't just the program.

Yeah ok It's corrupted.
Next task... Find a working place that currently has a download/torrent for the album "Between the Music and Latitude"
God why is it obscure music is so hard to find...
Think I found one =D

so you can't play the m4a in media player classic, vlc, winamp, or itunes?
Also, if you're looking for music, youtube hosts a lot for free at lower quality or you can just use google with "site:mediafire.com" added on to the end.
you can't convert an aac file losslessly into any normal audio container. flac is flac, mp3 is mp3, mp4/m4a/m4b is aac, ogg is vorbis, wav is pcm, etc...
The only lossles conversion would be into flac or wav.
Also, mp3 sucks. AAC and Vorbis are vastly superior. the new wma is apparently good too. Anything greater than 128 kbps though has diminishing returns on lossy codecs, and most people can't accurately tell which one is better at those bitrates.

What do you know, VLC can play it haha! I figured if 2-3 programs failed to play it... But nope. VLC is just win. Now how do I go about converting it to wav?
Thanks rockz =)

DevliNiTunes can convert m4a, I believe.

Audacity can record anything your computer is playing. You just need to crank up the volume a bit on the track after you have recorded before you save as mp3, wav, or ogg.
None.

just download mediacoder or super.
Though vlc probably has a built in converter.
re-recording is lossy, inefficient, and slow.
AAC is a bit annoying wot work with due to patents, which is one reason itunes is even a viable option.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.[2026-7-16. : 6:25 am]

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology[2026-7-15. : 8:51 pm]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]
Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
