- Description
- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- The VOC file format is an audio file format primarily used by Creative Technology's Sound Blaster sound cards for storing digital audio data. Developed by Creative Labs, the VOC format was widely used for storing sound samples and music files on PCs during the late 1980s and early 1990s. VOC files support mono and stereo sounds at various sampling rates and can contain multiple sound snippets and silence segments, making them versatile for a range of audio applications, including video games, sound effects, and voice.
