Understanding VOC and MP3 file formats

The VOC file format is an audio file format associated with Creative Labs' Sound Blaster sound cards. It was commonly used in the 1990s for storing audio data, including sound effects and music. VOC files can contain multiple audio tracks and support various audio compression methods.
