SLK at a glance
SLK
Convert to SLK when a legacy spreadsheet or import routine still expects symbolic-link style exchange files, especially in older finance, accounting, or reporting systems.
It is mainly useful for compatibility and archival migration.
For current spreadsheet exchange, XLSX, ODS, or CSV are usually more practical.
SLN at a glance
SLN
Convert to SLN when preparing prompts, voicemail assets, on-hold audio, or other sound files for Asterisk-style telephony systems that expect raw signed-linear input.
It is the right target when PBX compatibility and predictable call-audio handling matter more than metadata or ordinary media-player support.
