 With CDA to AIFF Converter, you can turn those .CDA files to AIFFs and be on your way. Our CD Ripper offers you an easy and fast way to convert CDA to AIFF audio with high quality. What is .cda file? Audio CD Track or .cda file is a small (44 bytes) file generated by Microsoft Windows for each track on an audio CD (it is a virtual file that can be read by Windows software, but is not actually present on the CD). This file contains indexing information that programs can use to play or rip the disc. It is given a name in the format Track##.cda. The .cda files do not contain the actual PCM wave data, but instead tell where on the disc the track starts and stops. If the .cda file is "copied" from the CD-ROM to the computer, it becomes useless, since it is only a shortcut to part of the disc.

Frequently Asked Questions

We strongly recommend that you first find answers to your questions here before try to contact us.

Q: What is CDA ?

A: Compact Disc Digital Audio. A file with the extension .cda is a small (44 byte) virtual file generated by Microsoft Windows for each audio track on a standard "Red Book" CD-DA format audio CD as defined by the Table of Contents (ToC) (within the lead-in's subcode). These files are shown in the directory for the CD being viewed in the format Track##.cda, where ## is the number of each individual track. The .cda files do not contain the actual PCM sound wave data, but instead tell where on the disc each track starts and stops. If the file is "copied" from the CD to a computer, it cannot be used on its own because it is only a shortcut to part of the disc. However, some audio editing and CD creation programs will, from the user's perspective, load .cda files as though they are actual audio data files, and allow the user to listen to them. This should not be confused with the tracks actually containing the audio data on the CD.

Q: What is AIFF ?

A: Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The file extension for the standard AIFF format is .aiff or .aif. For the compressed variants it is supposed to be .aifc, but .aiff or .aif are accepted as well by audio applications supporting the format. The format initially created by Apple Computer for storing and transmitting high-quality sampled audio data in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems. An AIFF file contains the raw audio data, channel information (monophonic orstereophonic), bit depth, sample rate, and application-specific data areas.
