m4a is the aac audio format that apple devices use for voice memos and purchased music. some players, older cars and a few web forms only take mp3. converting re-encodes the sound, so use at least 192 kbps to keep the loss small; for a voice memo, 128 kbps with mono is plenty.
drm-protected m4p files from old itunes purchases cannot be read by any browser tool. files you recorded yourself, such as voice memos, work fine.
