- Description
- The 8SVX file format, short for "8-Bit Sampled Voice," is an audio file type used primarily on the Amiga computer system. Developed as part of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), which was a versatile container format designed to hold various types of multimedia, 8SVX files specifically store 8-bit mono sound samples. These files are characterized by their ability to hold digitized sound data, such as musical compositions or sound effects.
- Audio format that uses MPEG-1 Layer II compression to reduce the file size; mainly replaced by the ubiquitous .MP3 format, but is still used for digital radio and digital television broadcasts.
