It is an interesting concept.

Hi again list,
I have given the matter of supporting .cda as input format some more
thought. What I wanted was an easier way to do drag 'n' drop music files
from CDs onto the local system and then have those files encoded with FLAC.
As of now most operating systems displays files on CDs as .cda

Red Book CD Audio still has error correction. Otherwise you'd *really*
notice the scratches.

does anybody know why dvd use files for audio and video but audio cd's not?
What could be the reason for this?
e.g. they could make a file for each track and just put them on an
audio cd and make cd players compatible with this format. So for me it
has always been a mystery why audio cd's work this

if the .cda files appeared as regular files in the filesystem and
implemented enough of the POSIX stream interface
CDA is not a file format. It's just a "shortcut" in windows. CD
Ripping requires device-level SCSI communications via the Device Driver
API (DeviceIoControl) and is way out of the scope of FLAC. Use Exact
Audio Copy or another ripping program to do this.

Hi list
What are you using for FLAC now, Daniel? flac.exe? Or (one of) the
Windows GUI apps?
I suppose you realize that flac.exe probably won't allow drag and
drop encoding.
Why don't you contact one of the authors of the PC Windows GUI apps
to suggest this feature? That's the only place it will h

Those .cda files do not appear on Mac OS X. Instead, when you put in
an audio CD, the operating system provide .aiff files with the audio
data bytes in CD format. FLAC supports AIFF, and Mac OS X supports
AIFF, so perhaps you should find a plugin for your operating system
which presents A

You are mistaken, Daniel. Regular audio CDs do not use any kind of
"file format"
CDDA consists of a stream of audio data with metadata codes in a
bitstream - there are no files, only a continuous stream of bits,
frames, blocks, etc.
The .cda files that you see are created by converting the r

Hi list,
I would really like to see support for .cda as input files. The cda format
is the one used on regular audio CDs.
Support for this format would make it even easier to encode to FLAC from CDs
