Hello,

Did anyone figure out how to play these files?  I would really appreciate
any help at all.  I have a G4 Ibook, and haven't been able to find
anything to play those RCA .voc files.  Hope someone can help me out.

I am also having the same issue with a rca digital voice recorder (rp5016)

It is a great unit(USB, removable memory(SD 70hr w 256M))  except for the
limited software and/or proprietary file format issue.
The software (Digital Voice Manager) only plays the files(no export or
editing functionality)
The File Format is not understood by any other software that I can find.
- VOC extension makes it look like a soundblaster file but it isn't
- I was able to figure out some of the format by inspection

00-0E "V432_Voice_File"
0F  unknown (0x13)
10  Year (0x04)
11   Month (0x09)
12   Day (0x08)
13   Hour (0x0D)
14   Min (0x35)
15   Sec  (0x25)
16   Dur - Hour (0x00)
17   Dur - Min (0x15)
18   Dur - Sec (0x14)
19-1C  data_offset?  (0x53 0x02 0x00 0x00)  - this is where I got lost - I
am not sure if this interpretaion is correct.

I then wrote a C program to write out the next 100 bytes as
uchar/ushort/ulong/float/double but none of the output made sense to me ( I
produced output for both little and big endian just in case - it looks like
it is big endian)

did you figure out this file format? What rate, what freq, any codec?

Recently bought an RCA digital voice recorder that records .voc files.
First 16 bytes are V432_Voice_File\n 
(Hex 5634 3332 5F56 6F69 6365 5F46 696C 6513)

Audio software that converts .voc files don't recognize this format so
does anyone have the specification for this?
