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.

WMA Audio Format

WMA Converter

The full name for the WMA format is Windows Media Audio. As the name suggests, it’s an audio format specifically for Windows devices. Microsoft introduced WMA files in 1999 following the popularity of the MP3 format, and two years after the launch of the AAC format for digital music. However, WMA is not as widely used as these two formats.

WMA files generally use lossy compression to make the files smaller. This can mean the audio quality isn’t as high as with some other formats, although lossless versions of WMA are possible if you install newer codecs. Because WMA is a proprietary format, it’s not always compatible with non-Microsoft players or operating systems. However, you can play WMA files with Windows Media Player, Nullsoft Winamp, MPlayer and VLC. You can also use some of these programs, or online tools like Zamzar, to convert WMA files into formats like MP3 or AAC.
