What is an RG file

RG files mostly belong to Sony. Your RG file can refer to one of two specific file types.
For some RG files, the file stores encrypted voice data used in Sony systems.

Encrypted Voice Data: This type holds secure, encrypted audio recordings and is tied to Sony compressed voice technology.

Other RG files are used for music compositions.

Music Composition File: This variant uses GZIP compression and holds musical data typically created by the Rosegarden music software. For more details, visit Rosegarden Music.

FilExt.com tip: It is important to identify which kind you have before choosing a program to open it. Use the voice file programs for encrypted audio and the music programs for compositions.

How can I open an RG file?

You need a suitable software like Sony to open an RG file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RG file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RG file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

RG file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below you will find our evaluation of the RG files:

RG is rarely used as a file extension and has no uniform or dominant file format. However, the following two file formats are common:

15% of all RG files use the same file format, which have the signature D5 C5 98 68 FF A2 1C 16 7F 98 44 48 8E 23 C7 68. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are 240 bytes to 3 KB in size, with a median of 410 bytes. Files like these have the following tags: person-related data.
9% of all RG files belong to Rosegarden composition. The files are using the common file format GZIP. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are often between 6 KB and 44 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. audio/x-rosegarden. These files can be linked to bossattack.

All other RG files (76%) have different formats, often, for example, alphaset, INFO and Jan. They are often associated with proxies, panel, line, rejimage or small. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your RG file!
