RealAudio (.ra)

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.

MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a)

M4A, an acronym for MPEG-4 Audio, is a file extension used to represent audio files encoded with Advanced Audio Codecs (AAC or ALAC) as part of the MPEG-4 format. Introduced by Apple in 2001, M4A was designed to improve upon the MP3 format by offering superior audio quality and smaller file sizes. Widely used in digital music distribution, M4A files are known for their efficient compression and lossless audio options, making them a preferred choice for music enthusiasts and professionals in the tech industry.
