The .RA file format was created by Real Networks for their media player, RealPlayer.
These files usually contain a reference to a location of a streaming audio file on the internet although these files can also contain actual audio data.
The file format is compressed using a proprietary compression algorithm, again developed by Real Networks.
These files are commonly played through the RealPlayer web-browser plug-in.
