3GA vs ALAC
ALAC is lossless, but it can't restore detail already removed by 3GA's compression — the file just gets bigger. Convert when an app or editor requires ALAC.

ALAC: ALAC is Apple's lossless format. It compresses audio to roughly half the size of WAV with zero quality loss and plays natively in Apple Music, iTunes and on every iPhone. It is saved with the .m4a extension.
