Is there an audio player for Linux that is capable of playing .voc audio files? I believe Sound Blaster initiated this type of file years ago.
I purchased an RCA digital voice recorder (like a tape recorder but uses memory instead of tape) but it only outputs the audio files as .voc files. The accompanying software will play the .voc files in Windows only.
ffmpeg has voc support, so they should play with mplayer at least (it can use ffmpeg/libavcodec as a backend), or directly using ffplay. You can also convert them to something more playable. For example:
The windows program that comes with the voice recorder works great in wine-1.1.32(without doing any configuration). and it can convert the files to .wav(though you have to do a lot of clicking to do so).
in order to play voc successfully,one method is to convert voc to a more popular audio format like mp3
i just find a stpe by step video tutorial on how to convert voc to mp3, wav, wma
