    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to access (wav)files (on a cd-rom) that are shown as *.cda? The file it´self is shown as 1kb large (although it is just 44 bytes long, as it is the wav header).Is there anyway I can access the file (like drag and drop or copy) as a normal wav file (i.e. like the alternative cdfs.vxd under Windows 9x os´s ?) Thanks in advance Phil

    Who the F*** is general failure and why is he reading my hard drive?

      The cda files are references to the start/finish of a track. Audio CD's are different to CD-ROMs in the way they store stuff. You will need some kind of ripping software. Windows Media Player 7+ or RealOne Player will do this.

        I was tinking of doing the "ripping" myself, so far I´ve found out that in the cda file is the start and end sector of the "music", the track number and a few other things (time in minutes, seconds etc.). Is there any way to read the cd directly i.e. low-level api ?

        Who the F*** is general failure and why is he reading my hard drive?
