First reference

I've added the first reference, thus I removed the "No references" Template like the said template talk page suggests. JohnnyCoal (talk) 14:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


reverted

An anonymous editor changed this article to what I think was an attempt at a redirect to Red Book (audio CD standard). However, that article has nothing to do with the information that was here. Which is why I reverted it. If the anon would like to add information about the cda format to either article, that would be helpful. --Alynna 03:01, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Additions

Couple things:

1. Suggest changing the order of these two sentences, so that it does not seem as though "some audio editing" makes cda files non-redundant, and to be less advisory (eg someone might want to keep the cda files because they are a shortcut).
From:
“ If the file is “copied” from the CD-ROM to the computer, it becomes useless, since 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. ”
To:
If the file is “copied” from the CD-ROM to the computer, some audio editing and CD creation programs will, from the user's perspective, load .cda files as though they are actual audio data files. However, these files are a shortcut to part of the disc, and cannot function without the disc.
2. In my experience, FLAC files convert to cda files when ripped to a CD-R, but then 'bounce back into shape' and become FLAC files again (and thus lossless the whole time, I assume) when copied back to disc. If someone could explain that process a bit, that would be great. See the FLAC article, which should have similar info added to it. Thanks in advance. Anarchangel (talk) 23:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
