I need to open audio files with a ".rar" format?
I've been sent some audio files by e-mail via WeTransfer, and they're in the format ".rar", which I'm guessing is some sort of compression similar to ".zip". None of my media players knows what to do with them. Does anyone know whether I need to download a decompression program, or is there a media player I can download that will decompress and play the files? I need to access these files for my work. Thanks in advance.

RAR is the native format of WinRAR archiver. Like other archives, RAR files are data containers, they store one or several files in the compressed form. After you downloaded RAR file from Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use it.
You will need a utility to open these files. Have a look at the following.
