M4A is a kind of Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). It was developed by Fraunhofer IIS, Dolby LABS, AT&T, Sony and others to replace the MP3 format. AAC audio algorithm in the compression ability is far more than MP3, it supports up to 48 audio tracks, 15 low-frequency audio tracks, more variety of sampling rate and bit rate, a variety of languages compatible ability, higher decoding efficiency. Overall, AAC can provide better sound quality at 30% less than MP3 files.
So, if you want to convert M4A to MP3, there is surely some quality loss in audio. In order to maximize the quality of the audio source, you need a professional M4A to MP3 converters, and here are some recommendation.

SOURCE: RE: GPX Touchscreen Media Player

you will need an advanced movie editor or converter that can convert the video from the supported types(even if it is already an .avi file) to: 320x240 resolution, using the xvid mpeg4 codec for video and mpeg layer3 mp3 audio codec. the quality can only be as high as 64 kbps i believe.
the player itself comes with a converter either built-in or on a cd. this converter sucks though and wont sync up the audio to the video very well at all. so i suggest you use a high quality converter so the videos will be watchable.
