Open SPX File

SPX extension files present various types of use and application, some of them below:

Ogg Vorbis

In this first case, the SPX file is an audio file compressed using Speex compression and saved in the Ogg Vorbis container format.

About Speex compression

The Speex project, beyond simple multimedia compression, aims to create a free codec for voice, unrestricted by any software patent.

Speex is subject to the BSD License, which is granted mainly for BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) systems, a type of Unix-like operating system, and has fewer restrictions compared to others such as the GPL being very close to the public domain.

The BSD license, unlike the GPL, allows the use of the source code in non-free software.

Speex is essentially a plugin to the Ogg Vorbis project, as Vorbis was not designed as a speech codec, but as a general purpose audio codec.

Speex is based on CELP and is designed to compress speech at rates from 2 to 44 kbps and has features not found in other speech codecs, such as depth stereo, noise suppression, and VBR mode with seamless or DTX transition.

The SPX format is an abbreviation for Speex and has been designed as an audio compression format specifically for speech.

System Profiler on an XML Report

In this case, the SPX file is a system information report created by the 'System Information' application, which is included with OS X.

SPX comes from the phrase 'System Profiler XML', and contains information that describes the hardware and software configuration of your Mac.

The format allows a choice about what information the report contains when saving the file.

The different types of information in an SPX can include:

Installed RAM
Network features
Number of USB ports
Graphics card
Aas well as Thunderbolt devices.

The SPX file can be created by the System Information application or the system_profiler command in Terminal.

Depending on the version of OS X, System Information may be called System Profiler.
