What is a MPGA file?

Compressed with MPEG Layer1, MPGA or MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio File is an audio file that is commonly found in mpeg- based videos and streamlines. An MPGA or Moving Picture Group Audio file has the same data, metadata, and info line- up with .mp3 audio file. It is safe to say that . mpga and .mp3 are interchangeable. So, players that can play .mp3 audio files can also play .mpga files.

To be technical, the MPGA file is a compressed audio data without losing its original quality. It consumes much less memory space compared to other audio formats. This file extension is also found in audio files which are basically used to store recorded audio and because it can keep the original quality of sound even after compression.MPGA is a format commonly used in police investigation and interview for recording testimonies.
