MPGA is a compressed audio file format defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) as part of the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards. This extension serves as a generic identifier for MPEG audio streams, utilized for storing music and voice recordings before the specific MP3 extension became ubiquitous. Although largely superseded by more specific file naming conventions, these files remain functionally identical to standard MPEG audio streams and pose minimal security risks during playback.

Python

const signature = Buffer.from([0xFF, 0xF2]);
return buffer.subarray(0, 2).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsMPGA(data []byte) bool {
signature := []byte{0xFF, 0xF2}
if len(data) < 2 {
return false
}
return bytes.Equal(data[:2], signature)
