- Description
- 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.
- An MP3 file is an audio file saved in a compressed audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) that uses "Layer 3" audio compression. It is commonly used to store music and audiobooks with near-CD quality sound (stereo, 16-bit) and roughly 1/10 the size of a .WAV or .AIF file.
