- 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.
- Audio format that uses MPEG-1 Layer II compression to reduce the file size; mainly replaced by the ubiquitous .MP3 format, but is still used for digital radio and digital television broadcasts.
