The 3rd Generation Audio (3GA) file format is the audio stream portion of a 3GPP multimedia container, and it is designed for 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile networks. Because 3GA files are heavily compressed and focused on narrowband signals, they are not suitable for music files.
By default, 3GA files open in VLC media player and QuickTime for Mac. 3GA files also open in the voice recorder applications of most mobile phones. Because it is common to use 3GA files for MMS messaging, most 3G mobile devices can open them.
Other programs that can open 3GA files include, Media Player Classic, RealPlayer, and MPlayer. If opening a 3GA file is problematic, then rename the file to include the extension “3GP” and try to open it again.

iPad Audio is an M4A file prepared for Apple iPad, holding AAC-encoded audio inside an MPEG-4 container. AAC is Apple’s preferred audio codec because it sounds better than MP3 at an equivalent bitrate, and the iPad decodes it in hardware, which keeps battery use low during long listening sessions.
Tap the file on the tablet and it opens in the Music or Files app immediately. iPadOS supports M4A natively, so no third-party player is needed.
Transfer the file using the Finder on macOS, iTunes on Windows, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop. The same file also plays on a computer in iTunes, VLC media player, or Windows Media Player. If you need it on an older MP3 player or car stereo, our M4A to MP3 converter handles the change.
