Frequently Asked Questions for XSPF Playlist File (*.XSPF) to subtitle ![:speaker: 🔈](https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twemoji/11.1.0/2/svg/1f508.svg)
What is a XSPF file?
XSPF files are playlist files that reference actual audio files. XSPF files are similar to M3U files, but they use XML tags to organize and list files included in the playlist. The actual audio files are not stored within XSPF files, they are only referenced by them. XSPF files are used by various audio players, such as VLC media player, AIMP, Clementine, and Audacious. If you are trying to transcribe XSPF files, you’ll normally need to upload the underlying audio files to Sonix so that we can transcribe all of the audio data properly. Please convert the underlying audio files to either MP3, WAV, or OGG file formats for us to better transcribe the spoken audio in those files.
