I read ApK's response, but I'm not sure that what he or she said is correct in all situations.
My Android plays ".mp4" files just fine. However, I'm almost certain that it won't play ".m4a" files. I don't have any ".m4a" files, on my smartphone, to test that, but I'm almost certain that when I try to play one I get a message that says "file type not supported," or something to that effect. I delete the file when I come across one (maybe not such a good idea, though---there may be an app that can be installed that will play them).

More importantly, I said they are useable outside of iOS and Safari, and they work on my non-Apple stuff. That is true without qualification.
While it's certainly possible that you have come across a particular player on your Android device that can't play them (though do try renaming as 'cat said), it's also most certain that you could grab one of a hundred other players that can.

Dear
Mr. Apk:
You certainly did say that, and I apologize. I jumped into reading the discussion without having read all of the previous posts, and not reading them very carefully, at that.
I also failed to include, above, the apropos quote from badgoodDeb. I had completely forgotten about how you could simply change the suffix (or whatever it is called) on some files, and that would take care of issues like that. Thanks for reminding me. I'll start trying that on .m4a files that appear (Well, maybe I shouldn't do that, upon further reflection. Could it be a file that contains a virus, if I don't know where it came from?) It's too bad that that can't be done with, say, a .pdf file and a .doc(x) file (as far as I know!)--if you wanted to make a .pdf file into a .doc(x) file, or vice versa, you would simply change the ending!
I am an "he," too.
