M4a vs Mp3 audio quality

[cooknuuk]

Can anyone tell the difference between m4a and mp3 audio quality?

M4a can be lossless or aac.

AAC is a later encoder and has better sound quality than mp3

of course it depends greatly on the bitrate. a 192kbps mp3 file will likely sound better than a 96kpps m4a file.
