You are correct that they are *presented* as files, but I don't think
they are files in any commonly understood sense of the term. I think
they are just represented that way by Windows.
Aaron.
No, those .cda files are files. They're 1KB in size, all of them (which
should be a clear indicator that they don't contain the audio data) and
they are copyable. Looking at them in a hex editor shows that they're
some sort of pointer file and trying to play one on my computer's
hard-drive (copied from the audio CD in my CD drive) turns up nothing.
The bulk of the data on an audio drive isn't viewable in Windows Explorer.
