The OMA file extension, also known as Sony OpenMG Music File, is a proprietary audio format developed by Sony for use with its range of hardware devices and software applications. The file type is the proprietary successor to the MUS and SMAF formats previously developed by the company, and contains audio information that has been encrypted using openMG protected compression.
The OMA files are suited to storing music on various digital devices like audio players, computers, and mobile phones, as well as CDs in certain cases. Compatible with a range of operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS, the files feature better sound quality as compared to MP3 or WMA formatted music, making them a common choice for creating professional-level recordings. Additionally, the OMA format supports various types of audio processing capabilities like sampling at 6-8 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 32 kHz or 44.1 kHz bitrates, depending on the device.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OMA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .OMA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .OMA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .OMA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .OMA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OMA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OMA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .OMA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OMA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OMA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
