What to know about VOC
Audio encoding
VOC uses format-specific rules to store or compress sound.
Quality and size
Bit rate, sample rate, bit depth and compression influence both fidelity and file size.
Metadata
Track titles, artists, artwork and other tags may be supported depending on the format.
Compatibility
Support for VOC varies across browsers, devices, editors and media players.
How VOC conversion works
Converting VOC decodes the source audio and encodes it with the destination format's codec and selected quality settings.
Lossy conversion cannot restore detail already removed from the source, so keep the original when quality matters.
mp3.now accepts VOC as an input and converts its audio to MP3.
VOC compatibility and software support
Check that the target player or editing application supports VOC before choosing it for delivery.
MP3 remains a practical fallback when broad playback compatibility is the priority.
