Convert MP3 to 8SVX

MP3, short for MPEG Audio Layer 3, is a digital audio coding format that revolutionized music storage and distribution. Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), it was first introduced in the early 1990s. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to compress audio files significantly without major loss in sound quality, making it ideal for efficient storage and transmission over the internet. MP3 files are widely used for music playback on various digital devices, including computers, smartphones, and portable media players, due to their balance of compression efficiency and sound fidelity.

The 8SVX (8-Bit Sampled Voice) file format, developed by Electronic Arts as part of the Interchange File Format (IFF) standard, is used for storing 8-bit pulse-code modulation (PCM) audio on Amiga computers. Introduced in the 1980s, it was primarily used in video games, multimedia applications, and digital sound processing, enabling efficient sound playback. 8SVX files supported compression and multi-channel audio, making them ideal for memory-limited environments. Despite advancements in audio technology, 8SVX remains significant in retro computing and emulation, preserving Amiga's audio heritage.
