- Description
- A CDDA (CD Digital Audio File) is a type of audio file extracted directly from an audio CD. This format is also known as CD-DA, which stands for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a standard format for audio CDs established by Philips and Sony in the Red Book specification. CDDA files represent uncompressed digital audio data in a linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) format.
- 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.
