VOC to FLAC Converter

VOC (Creative Voice File) is an audio format developed by Creative Labs for use with their Sound Blaster sound cards. It was widely used in early PC gaming and multimedia applications during the late 1980s and early 1990s. VOC files use the .voc extension and typically contain voice recordings or simple sound effects.

The VOC format supports various audio encodings, including PCM (uncompressed), ADPCM compression, and telephony-standard μ-law compression. A distinctive feature of VOC files is their block-based structure, which allows for storing different audio segments with potentially different encodings or sample rates within a single file.

Opening VOC files requires software with specific support for this legacy format. VLC Media Player, Audacity (with optional plugins), and foobar2000 (with plugins) can handle VOC playback. Specialized vintage audio players like DOSBox can also play VOC files in their original context.

For audio professionals working with archival material, audio editing software like Adobe Audition and GoldWave offer good VOC support. Due to the format's age and decreasing support, converting VOC files to modern formats like WAV or MP3 is recommended for long-term accessibility and broader compatibility with contemporary devices and software.

Converting VOC files is straightforward with our specialized vintage audio converter. Our tool can transform these legacy Creative Labs audio files to modern formats like WAV, MP3, or FLAC for improved compatibility with contemporary devices and software.

Our VOC converter accurately handles the block-based structure of VOC files, properly processing all audio segments regardless of their encoding. For archival purposes, we recommend converting to lossless formats like WAV or FLAC to preserve the original audio quality. The converter also supports batch processing, allowing you to modernize your entire collection of vintage VOC files efficiently.

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio compression format that allows for lossless compression of digital audio files. Unlike MP3 and other lossy formats, FLAC retains the full quality of the original audio while reducing the file size.

It is commonly used by audiophiles and professionals for archiving high-quality audio, as it provides the same sound quality as the original source but with smaller file sizes.

FLAC files can be opened with various audio players such as VLC Media Player, Foobar2000, and Winamp. Many music players for smartphones, like Android's default player or Apple's Music app, also support FLAC.

On macOS, players such as Audirvana or VLC can be used to play FLAC files. If you're using Windows, ensure that your audio player supports FLAC or install the appropriate codec.

You can convert FLAC files using our online converter. Upload your FLAC file, select your desired output format (e.g., MP3, WAV, or AAC), and start the conversion.

Our tool offers high-speed processing and ensures that the converted files maintain excellent audio quality. The converted files are compatible with most devices and platforms.
