Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The LucasArts AdLib audio file format was used by LucasArts for audio data in various computer games. The format is designed for playback through AdLib-compatible sound hardware or emulation.
A .laa file contains synthesized audio data rather than a conventional recording such as a WAV file. It is used as part of a game's audio resources.
The format is obsolete and is not generally used by current software. Winamp with the AdPlug plugin can play these files on Microsoft Windows.
On Microsoft Windows, open the .laa file with Winamp after installing the AdPlug plugin. Playback depends on the plugin supporting the particular file.
This format is intended for playback by compatible software.
Compatible tools can export .laa files to other audio formats.
If a compatible player can play the file, its output can be recorded to a standard audio format such as WAV using audio-recording software. This creates a recording of the playback rather than converting the original data.
