QCP files created by the Voice Memo feature on a [[Palm Treo]] can be played without conversion by [[Windows Media Player]] if the file is renamed with a [[WAV]] extension. Some other audio file players, such as Real Player, can not play these files, and [[Windows Media Player]] won't play them unless the extension is changed to [[WAV]]. |

However, this technique won't work on all phones, specifically an [[Vx8300|LG VX8300]] using [[Verizon Wireless]], as well as a Motorola Razr V3m using Alltel. There is a work-around that does work, and may be a useful alternative on other phones. If you take the sound file, and email it to yourself directly from your phone, something along the way (your mobile phone provider, i.e. Verizon Wireless or Cricket) translates it to a WAV file, and makes it an attachment to the email. You can then play the WAV attachment directly in [[Windows Media Player]]. |

Qualcomm previously offered downloads of the software and SDK for its PureVoice voice and audio enhancement products that could play and convert QCP files.<ref>{{cite web |

This workaround does require a plan that allows email, may be slower than directly accessing the file on the phone, and may incur extra charges from the provider. |

The QCP file format is used by many cellular telephone manufacturers to provide ring tones and record voice. It is based on RIFF, a generic format for storing chunks of data identified by tags. The QCP format does not specify how voice data in the file is encoded. Rather, it is a container format. QCP files are typically encoded QCELP or EVRC.
Qualcomm, which originated the format, has removed an internal web page link from the page that formerly discussed QCP. "Out of an abundance of caution, due to the December 31st, 2007 injunction ordered against certain Qualcomm products, Qualcomm has temporarily removed certain web content until it can be reviewed and modified if necessary to ensure compliance with the injunction. It may be several more days or weeks before these pages are accessible again. Thank you for your patience."[3]
QCP files have the same signature as RIFF files: A SOF (start of file) header of 52494646 ("RIFF"), and an EOF (end of file) of 0000.
Playing QCP files
[edit]Qualcomm previously offered downloads of the software and SDK for its PureVoice voice and audio enhancement products that could play and convert QCP files.[4]
