- Description
- The XA file format, associated with Maxis, is used primarily for storing audio data in certain video games developed by Maxis, the video game company known for creating popular titles like SimCity and The Sims series. The XA format allows for efficient compression of audio data, enabling games to include a variety of sounds and music tracks without using an excessive amount of disk space. This format is specifically designed to be used within the game environment, facilitating seamless playback and integration of sound effects and music.
- An OGG file is a compressed audio file that uses free, unpatented Ogg Vorbis audio compression. It is similar to an .MP3 file, but sounds better than an MP3 file of equal size, and may include song metadata, such as artist information and track data. OGG files are supported by many software music players and some portable music players.
