MP3 files are "industry" standard for music, some audio books, etc. MP4's are Apple's iTune proprietary audio format, and they are encrypted where you cannot play them on non iPod MP3 players.
There are ways. Check the web if you want to know how. As far as we know, it is legal to convert an mp4 to an mp3 file; however, we won't post how here just in case.

Not all MP4/M4A files are encrypted.
If you purchased a non-iTunes Plus song from the iTunes Store, it will be encrypted. If you purchase an iTunes Plus song, it will not be FairPlay encrypted, but it will be watermarked w/ your iTunes ID.
If you rip your CDs to MP4/M4A, then the song will not be encrypted, nor will it be watermarked.
One more thing about MP4/M4A, it's actually /not/ an Apple proprietary format. it's the next gen of MP3 though and vastly superior in audio quality-to-file size ratio.
