What is a .RAX file?
The .RAX file is a type of audio file that you could buy from the Real Music Store. It's made to work with Real Player, which is a program that lets you play both music and videos. The .RAX file is special because it is saved in a way that only certain programs can open it, and it has DRM protection. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and it's a way to prevent the file from being copied or shared illegally.
However, if you want to listen to your .RAX files in a more common format, like .MP3, you can use certain software to convert it. Programs like SoundTaxi Media Suite or RAX Converter can help you change your .RAX files into a format that's easier to use and more widely accepted.
It's important to know that .RAX files are similar to other Real Audio files with extensions like .RA and .RAM, but they are not exactly the same. Also, even though .RAX files were designed to be used with RealPlayer, the company behind RealPlayer, RealNetworks, has stopped supporting this file format. This means that newer versions of RealPlayer might not be able to play .RAX files anymore.
