The RAM (Real Audio Metadata) file extension is a multimedia format developed by Real Networks used for streaming audio over the internet. It is well-suited for audio-on-demand, as well as live broadcasts. The audio content can be encoded in various formats such as MP3 and Real Audio, or non-compressed audio data.
RAM files allow streaming audio to be downloaded faster than traditional file downloads, while still providing GOOD Quality sound. Audio data can be compressed to half its original size, greatly improving transmission speeds and storage requirements. RAM files also support synchronization audio tracks with visual images, creating an enhanced viewing and listening experience.
RAM files are commonly used on digital radios and Internet services such as Spotify.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RAM) 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 .RAM 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 .RAM 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 .RAM 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 .RAM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RAM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RAM 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 .RAM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RAM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RAM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
