A RAM file is a file associated with the RealPlayer software from RealNetworks. It serves as a playlist, and as a way to launch the RealPlayer application or plugin.

It is a plain text file, consisting of one or more URLs (usually just one), one per line. A URL may use HTTP, but for streaming services it may use Real-Time Streaming Protocol or the older Progressive Networks Media protocol. The referenced media files usually use RealMedia or RealAudio format.

RAM most likely stands for RealAudio Metadata.
