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.

iPhone Audio is an M4A file encoded for Apple iPhone, containing AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container. AAC delivers noticeably better sound than MP3 at the same bitrate, which is why Apple adopted it as the default for the iTunes Store and for music on iOS. Choosing this preset produces a file the iPhone plays natively, with artwork and track tags intact.
On the phone, the file plays straight away in the Music, Voice Memos, or Files app — nothing extra is required.
To get the file onto the device, sync it through iTunes, the Finder on macOS, or iCloud Drive. On a computer the same M4A opens in iTunes, the Apple Music app, Windows Media Player, VLC media player, and every major web browser. For maximum compatibility with older devices, convert it with our M4A to MP3 tool.
