[ View screenshots of steps for CDA (CD) to FLAC conversion ] CDA stands for CD Audio and are small files that contain information as to where the audio is located on the CD. These files do not actually contain any music, and copying them does nothing except create small, useless files on your hard drive. To actually extract the music from an audio CD a process called ripping is required. What is CDA (CD)? CD-DA is an abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is also known as "Red Book Audio" and is the digital sound format used by audio CDs. Data is encoded by starting with a source sound file, and sampling it to convert it to digital format. CD-DA audio uses a sample rate of 44.1 kHz, which is roughly double the highest frequency audible by humans. What is FLAC? FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, a leading compression technique that preserves original audio quality while reducing file size. The FLAC format reduces the original file size by roughly 30-60% with no loss of quality, hence FLAC is a lossless format. |
