Open MPA File

An MPA file extension is an audio file compressed with MPEG Layer II compression, which reduces file size with minimal effect on overall sound quality.

MPEG Layer II is a lossy audio compression format defined by ISO/IEC 11172-3 along with Layer I and Layer III.

While MP3 is much more popular for PC and Internet applications, MP2 is still a dominant standard for audio transmission, whether on streaming platforms or digital radio.

It is based on the MPEG-1 audio coding standard and was later updated to the MPEG-2 specification.

The MPA format is a standard, so it is compatible with various software packages and platforms, both desktop and mobile.
