I'm sure you're right. I'll tell him, but he's got the final say.

There's another factor to your advantage here, if the majority of your content 
is voice. Voice is WAY more forgiving of high compression than music, so I 
would say you're good choosing a different format rather than jumping through 
hoops trying to accommodate m4a.  Save yourself some headache.

I agree with Scott about the “difference in quality” issue. Probably
the only way people would notice a difference in audio quality would
be to play the files side-by-side. Even then it would be difficult
because of the relatively low quality of playback
speakers/headphones. I’ve tried it with groups of people. And people
really only notice bad audio when it is actually bad, not when it is
just not as good as pristine.

And there definitely are batch converters (free and $).

But getting some audio people to believe this may be difficult. They
can be a stubborn lot, especially if they come from the days of tape
recording when moving analog audio around really could audibly
degrade it.

That's it in a nutshell. But there's also the more legitimate issue that a 
high-quality mp3 file is going to be larger than the equivalent m4a. With the 
number of users they have repeatedly streaming the files, it'll cost them.
