- 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.
- RealPlayer created RA for audio streaming. It makes use of various audio codecs from those that deliver high-fidelity sounds to those that record low bitrate audio data. Radio stations mainly used it for online streaming, but current formats have overthrown it.
