Xma

Xma, often written as XMA or xma, is an acronym that can refer to several different concepts. There is no single, universally accepted definition, and the precise meaning depends on the domain and context.

One well-documented use is Xbox Media Audio, a codec family developed for Microsoft's Xbox platforms. XMA (and the later XMA2) is designed to compress and stream game audio with features suited to real-time playback and consoles. It was used in some Xbox 360 and Windows games and media pipelines.

Beyond the Xbox context, "XMA" or "xma" can appear as an acronym in various fields, including software, research projects, corporations, and standards. In these cases, the letters are chosen to represent different phrases and do not imply a single shared specification. When encountering "xma" in text, the intended meaning is best inferred from surrounding information, capitalization, and the sector involved.

Because the term is ambiguous, a precise definition should be sought from the relevant source or documentation for the specific domain.
