- Description
- CRI HCA is a proprietary compressed audio format developed by CRI Middleware for use in video games and multimedia applications. It is designed for efficient streaming and playback of audio within CRI's ADX2/CRIWARE game audio middleware. The format is widely used in Japanese console and mobile games to store music and sound effects.
- RealPlayer created RA for audio streaming. It makes use of various audio codecs from those that deliver high-fidelity sounds to those that record low bitrate audio data. Radio stations mainly used it for online streaming, but current formats have overthrown it.
