Can a .m4a audio file be converted into a .mp3 one losslessly?

I simply meant there are some audio utilities or audio players
that won't recognize it (along with some other formats too), like
some portable mp3 players, for example. And since it only reduces
the file size by half, for both reasons I don't see much use for
it, but that's just my own take on it.
:-). For me, mp3's are the saving grace, with their concurrent
10:1 or
better reduction in file size, whilst yet negligible sound loss.

Unless it's quite old I can't think of a computer audio utility that
can't handle FLAC. Even most hardware players newer than about 10 years
should be able to play them... unless they are named Apple.
I use MP3s for portable players. I use FLAC for archiving.
Well, I do use a lot of old software, so that may be it. 10 years seems
like yesterday to me. :-)
