RAX File

Files with the RAX extension belong to the category of audio files.

What do RAX files contain?

Files with the RAX extension contain soundtracks that were purchased on the Real Music Store platform. This platform is used for the paid distribution of sound materials. In files with the RAX extension, information necessary for streaming sound playback in the Real Player application is stored. In addition, RAX files contain DRM data, which is used to protect soundtracks from unauthorized access.

How are RAX files used?

DRM information embedded in the structure of files with the RAX extension is used by algorithms of dedicated software to limit access to audio data for users who have paid for a specific RAX file in the Real Music Store. This fights against the illegal copying of music tracks. However, it is still possible to conveniently convert files with the RAX extension to the MP3 format, which does not support DRM technology.
