The CDA file extension is used for tracks stored on an audio CD.

The .CDA files are representations of CD audio tracks and do not contain the actual pulse code modulation (PCM) information. You cannot play the file if you copy a .cda file from the CD-ROM to your hard disk.

Some audio grabbers support direct conversion of the CD audio tracks to the other audio formats such as MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC, OGG etc.
