What format are .CDA files in?
Actually, .CDA files aren’t really files at all. Windows shows the tracks on an audio CD as “.CDA” files for convenience. For example, you can create a file association for “.CDA” and invoke an audio CD player when you double-click on a track. The tracks themselves are in a format almost identical to a common WAV or AIFF file. See section (2-20).
