- Description
- A Windows shortcut to a track on an audio CD: 44 bytes that say which track it is and where it sits on the disc, with no audio in it. Windows shows one per track (Track01.cda) when an audio CD is in the drive; converting it means reading that track from the CD.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
