About the MPA format

An MPA file is MPEG audio without a video stream: the sound of a DVD or Video CD, a TV recording or an old camcorder clip. Inside is usually MP2 or MP3 audio.

Some players do not recognise the .mpa extension even when they can play the audio. Converting to MP3 or WAV makes it open anywhere.
