Convert RA to AC3

The RA file extension, short for RealAudio, is an audio format developed by RealNetworks in 1995 for streaming audio over the internet. It was widely used for online radio, music, and speech content, offering efficient compression and support for low-bandwidth connections. RealAudio pioneered real-time audio streaming, contributing to the early evolution of internet media. Though its usage has declined due to modern formats like MP3 and AAC, RA files were instrumental in enabling web-based audio playback before broadband became mainstream.

AC3, short for Audio Codec 3, is a file extension developed by Dolby Laboratories for digital audio compression. Primarily utilized in home theater systems, DVD, Blu-ray, and broadcasting, it delivers up to 5.1-channel surround sound. Introduced in the early 1990s, AC3 revolutionized audio experiences by providing high-quality sound with efficient data compression. This codec enhances user experiences with its immersive audio capabilities, making it a standard in the industry.
