It stores compressed or PCM audio streams used for music and sound effects that are played back in real time rather than loaded entirely into memory. The format is part of Nintendo's internal sound engine toolset used across several game titles.
- Audio file compressed with the Free Lossless True Audio codec (TTA); supports compression of multichannel 8, 16, and 24-bit .WAV data; compresses the original audio data with compression ratios of 30-70 percent.
