The M4A files are what is produced if you choose the MP4 option in the output preferences of the ripping tab. I note something of a difference, though it is slight. It is my understanding that MP4 is headed towards being a new standard.

I heard a few and couldn't tell much of a difference from my mp3's, and this is on a good sound system here. I wouldn't expect many plugins to work with m4a, as not many people know about it or what it is. I'm afraid mp3 is here to stay.
