- Description
- A VQF file, standing for TwinVQ (Vector Quantized) Audio File, is a compressed audio format developed by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation) in the late 1990s. It was designed to offer higher compression rates compared to the more commonly used MP3 format, aiming to produce smaller file sizes while retaining a similar audio quality.
- 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.
