- 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.
- A WMA file is an audio file saved in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) proprietary format developed by Microsoft. It contains Windows Media Audio and metadata objects such as the title, artist, album, and genre of the track. WMA files are similar to .MP3 files and primarily used for streaming music from the web.
