M4A vs MP3
MP3 is supported by almost all the players & apps & converters. Since 1990, MP3 was considered to be the standard format for music files. But there are no standards, when it comes to Apple Inc, right? So, since some time ago it started to popularize AAC (M4A).
FYI, AAC – Advanced Audio Coding.
Right now, it’s a major file format used in iTunes.
Because it is able to transmit a bigger variety of signals – the quality improves greatly. If you compare MP3 and M4A files with the same bitrate – the difference is quite noticeable.
M4A files take usually half the size of the original audio. That’s 50 % less space that it will take on your device.
If you have limited space on your iPod – that’s quite convenient, isn’t it? The problem is: M4A is not that spread as MP3. Still, many players & apps don’t support it. But, If you own iPhone/iPad/iPod touch M4A appears to be better.

Whatever file you choose – MP3 or M4A – you can easily download it from YouTube with Softorino YouTube Converter. (but if you save it to your iPhone, M4A seems to more appropriate)
