The nra file extension is used by Nero software, including Nero Burning ROM, Nero Multimedia Suite, and Nero Linux, for saved Audio CD compilations.
An nra file stores compilation settings, the list of selected audio tracks, and the locations of the audio data. It does not contain the audio itself, so the referenced source files must remain available for the compilation to be restored correctly.
This is a proprietary Nero project format rather than an audio or disc-image format. It is mainly useful with compatible Nero software.
On Microsoft Windows, open an nra file with Nero Burning ROM or Nero Multimedia Suite, using its disc-burning component. On Linux or Unix, use Nero Linux. The referenced audio files must be accessible to the application for the compilation to load completely.
An nra file is a Nero project file and cannot be meaningfully converted into an audio file or a standard disc image by itself. Open it in compatible Nero software and use the compilation to burn an Audio CD.
If the original audio files are available, they can be used to create a new Audio CD project in another application. The nra file itself does not provide a general-purpose export format.
