It's sort of compressed without throwing out stuff like MP3 (that assumes you just don't ear certain parts of the audio).
Something like that. Does sound better - I used Nine Inch Nails' newest album called "The Slip" to compare:

.m4a is used for regular lossy iTunes music and Apple's lossless codec.
Does iTunes actually sell lossless music or is the lossless codec only used for ripping CDs?
The compressed music iTunes sells is basically a slightly better compression format than MP3.
