- Description
- A lossy file format used to compress speech in Global Standard for Mobile (GSM) telecommunications. It is very effective for reducing audio file size. However, encoding and decoding audio signals severally is discouraged as the final product will have a lot of noise. Popular with some voice mail software but it is CPU intensive.
- A CDDA (CD Digital Audio File) is a type of audio file extracted directly from an audio CD. This format is also known as CD-DA, which stands for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a standard format for audio CDs established by Philips and Sony in the Red Book specification. CDDA files represent uncompressed digital audio data in a linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) format.
