i just tried to put a show into my computer and it says it is a .cda file. it will not transfer to wav, or flac files. it does play in winamp, and the other media players. the files read as being 1kb in size? anyone ever seen this? thanks
-
its an audio CD. if you want to get the WAV files off the disc, use a program like EAC (Exact Audio Copy).

cda is what it says when you put a store bought cdr on your pc. This isn't a cdr is it? You cant play a CDA file, a CDA file is merely a file manager placeholder for an audio track. It has to be converted to a different format like Wav or Mp3. As mentioned above use EAC.

even if it a cd-r a your burnt an audio disc in nero or whatever you use it will come up as a .cda file. You can play .cda files, like it say above it will play in winamp or whatever he is using. Agree with the rest use EAC to extract to .wav then you can covert to .flac

Track1.CDA, Track2.CDA, etc. is the computer filesystems' way of describing a CD Table of Contents

so, flac files were burns as audio, not data. will i loose anything by using eac? if so i can get another copy.
-
If i remember right, you won't loose anything by using eac. There are however some steps to setting up your cd drive correctly. I'm sure if you search for eac on here you will find the correct methods
-
what do you intend to do with the "eac'ed" files? If you're planning on spreading 'em, you're always better off avoiding eac steps in the lineage of shows if possible.

what is the show was flac>wav>audio cd then he wanted to go audio>wav>flac
Is ok to do this using eac? I have never done it myself but if there is a better way i would like to know in case i run into the same situation
-
Problem is that the audio cd format does not provide for ROBUST error correction (which the data cd format does provide). Thus, even using EAC it's possible that the integrity of the underlying musical data can be corrupted during transfer/extraction. Accordingly, from a data-integrity standpoint, it's always preferable to avoid an audio cd extraction step if/when possible.
