How I can convert CDA files to Wav files

[jahern]

I'm not sure exactly what cda files are. The computer says that the tracks associated with an audio cd are cda files. These don't "convert" to wave files.

However, if you have Microstudio, you use the Import Tracks function for your audio cds. Gotta go. Hope this helps. If you have more questions, give a holler.

CDA stands for Compact Disk Audio. It’s the extension used by all tracks on a music CD, including those CD+Gs burned using MicroStudio.

There are many CDA to WAV converters. MTU’s MicroStudio is an excellent choice.

I think that saying that these files are converted is a misnomer. As the computer "lists" these cda files, they have about 1kb to them. There is nothing there to convert. The wave files come from the cd itself, not from the cda files.

Microstudio uses the terms "Import". That kind of infers to change the location of the file without really changing its makeup. I like the term "Extract". The terms "Rip" and "Encode" are very popular with the programs that can produce Wave files from Audio (and CDG-Audio) cd's.

The .cda extension is like the Table of Contents. It acts like a shortcut on your desktop. When you click on this, in a computer, it then directs the player to the Audio which is further into the disc.

This is the best way that I can think of to explain this, so this file does know where and tells the program where the audio for that track lies on the CD.
