m4a or m4p

Can anyone confirm please

Are m4a and m4p files the same format - although m4p includes DRM??

Thanks

They are both AAC (or MP4) format, the ones with the p extension are copy protected. Audio-only MP4 files typically have an .m4a extension, MP4 files with audio streams encrypted by FairPlay Digital Rights Management sold through the iTunes Store use the .m4p extension. There's also an m4b extension generally used for audio books.
