Raw-audio is a headerless PCM sound file: nothing but the digital samples themselves, with no metadata, no compression, and no marker identifying where the audio begins. A WAV file is essentially the same data with a short descriptive header attached. Raw-audio appears most often as the output of audio hardware, DSP pipelines, and telephony systems, and as the intermediate stage between processing steps.
Import it into Audacity using File → Import → Raw Data. You will be asked for the encoding, byte order, channel count, and sample rate, since the file itself does not record them.
Common defaults are 16-bit signed PCM at 44,100 Hz or 48,000 Hz; telephony recordings are frequently 8-bit at 8,000 Hz. FFmpeg and SoX can play and convert raw-audio from the command line once you supply the same parameters. Save the result as WAV or MP3 so the settings travel with the file from then on. You can also convert the file with our RAW to MP3 tool.

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.
