- Description
- VAG (Vorbis Audio... actually PlayStation Audio) is an audio file format developed by Sony for use in PlayStation game consoles. It stores compressed audio data using Sony's proprietary ADPCM compression algorithm, optimized for game sound effects and music. The format is commonly used in PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game development.
- 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.
