Heh ... not quite, .cda files are handles that Windows assigns to the raw audio tracks (I use the term 'raw' loosely here). When you copy them you're copying a pointer, not actual .wav data hence why Windows has no idea what to do with it after you copy it. Some programs such as Nero can figure it out because they know whats going on (assuming the CD they came from is still in the drive). The bitrate, etc. 'of' a .cda file is in fact that of the track it points to on the audio CD (which is almost always 44.1Khz, 16-bit and stereo). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
