About RA (.RA)
RA is a file extension commonly associated with RealAudio files, used for streaming audio content over the internet. These files were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s for delivering music and radio broadcasts online with relatively low bandwidth requirements.
Technical Details
RA files typically use proprietary compression algorithms developed by RealNetworks to reduce file size while maintaining audio quality. They often contain encoded audio data in formats like AC3 or MPEG-4, and are usually played with RealPlayer or compatible media players.
Additional Information & Use Cases
RealAudio files are designed to be streamed, allowing users to listen to audio content without downloading the entire file first. RealNetworks, the company behind this format, played a significant role in pioneering early internet media streaming technologies.
