What is an .RA file?
RA files are audio files saved in the Real Audio (RA) format, a compressed audio format developed by RealNetworks for streaming and playback over the Internet. The files store compressed audio to reduce file size, allowing music, radio broadcasts, and other audio content to be delivered efficiently over low-bandwidth connections, though some original sound detail is lost in the process.
Since the RA format is uncommon now, you will likely only encounter RA files when downloading older streaming audio content or accessing archived media from the 2000s. File Viewer Plus can play RA files and convert them to MP3 or M4A formats, making them compatible with modern devices and media players that do not natively support RealAudio.
