Does anyone know what type of file a regular music cd is actually saved
as? I am working on a project in which I have a MP3 on a disc which I can
play on my DVD player. Currently, the plan is to play the MP3 on the DVD
player have the audio signal go thru a mixing console and then back into a
stand alone CD-R.
A music CD (CD-DA) contains no files. It contains a data stream which is
essentially in WAV format but with some byte transpositions. It also
contains a TOC which gives the appearance of being 'files' (.CDA
extension), but that is an artifact of the operating system. There is other
information on the disc, none of which is a file.
