Raw audio is uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM) sound stored with no header at all — just a continuous stream of sample values. Because the file carries no description of itself, the sample rate, bit depth, channel count, and byte order have to be supplied by whoever opens it. That makes raw audio awkward to share but very useful in audio programming, embedded devices, and recovery work, where a plain stream of samples is exactly what is needed.
The standard tool is Audacity. Use File → Import → Raw Data, then set the encoding, sample rate, and channels to match the file.
If you do not know the correct settings, start with 16-bit signed PCM, 44,100 Hz, stereo, and adjust until the audio sounds normal — wrong settings usually produce noise or a chipmunk-like pitch. Command-line users can play or convert raw audio with FFmpeg or SoX. Converting to a self-describing format such as WAV or MP3 saves you from repeating the guesswork. You can also convert the file with our RAW to WAV 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.
