RA Audio Format RA Converter
RealAudio files use the RA file extension. The format was developed by RealNetworks, and it was launched in 1995. RealAudio files can contain audio data or can reference an online audio file that can be streamed and played while it’s still downloading. When old dialup modems were used, the files could also be streamed over these, and because of this feature, RA used to be the main format for the BBC websites and many internet radio stations. However, the RA format has now declined in popularity in favour of other audio formats that are more efficient.
RA files will not play on all devices or with all music players. However, if you have an RA file you want to listen to, you can still download the free RealPlayer as either a standalone software application or as a browser plugin. You can also play RA files with MPlayer or VLC Media Player.

AAC Audio Format AAC Converter
AAC is one of the most common formats for digital music, in a large part because it is the default format for Apple devices and the iTunes program, as well as some Sony and Nintendo devices. AAC is short for Advanced Audio Coding. It was developed in 1997 and is now an open standard recognised by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization.
Like MP3, the AAC file format uses lossy compression. With both formats there is some loss of audio quality to create smaller file sizes that let users to store and share music more easily. However, with both MP3 and AAC, most listeners cannot hear this loss of quality. AAC also generally produces higher quality sound than MP3. As AAC is a widely used open standard format for digital music, you can play AAC audio tracks with almost all media players, including Apple Music, Windows Media Player, VLC, and Adobe Audition.
