HCA

HCA is a compressed audio format from CRI Middleware commonly found in games and interactive applications. Some HCA files may use project-specific settings or protection that ordinary converters cannot process.

MP3

MP3 is a lossy compressed audio format built for small files and broad playback compatibility. It works on almost every phone, browser, car stereo, media player, and editing application.
