About XWMA
Microsoft added xWMA to XAudio2, the sound engine of Xbox 360 and Windows games, in 2008. Bethesda's games keep music and voices as xWMA, and modders pull them out of the game's archives.
An xWMA is a RIFF file with Windows Media Audio inside, and a table of where each block starts so the game can jump within it.
No browser plays xWMA by itself. Filepeek decodes it with FFmpeg inside your browser, with its waveform, and Export saves an MP3 or a WAV.
