Wav to CDA ?

Loki222 · Mar 21, 2003

I have looked all over for a program to convert Wav to CDA
I have a DVD that I ripped the audio from into a wav and want to play it in my car CD player.

seems simple:
open your audio burn program,
select the waves(drag and drop)
.....burn!!!!

ps:
waves will be 44.100-16 bits.

I assumed CD players only played CDA files.
My car CD player doesn't play MP3's.
So if I just burn the WAV's onto CD with Nero, they will play in my car ?

"So if I just burn the WAV's onto CD with Nero, they will play in my car ?"
yes,simple as you wrote!!!!
choose a new "audio cd" in nero.

little hints:
if you have the mp3 plugin in nero,
only drag and drop and nero do the work....

if don't,
convert the mp3 to wave first,
then burn like posted.....for me is the better way!

There is no such thing as a CDA file - it's merely a file manager placeholder for an audio track.

If you put ANY supported audio file into an "Audio CD" project in any popular burn program, it will become an audio track on the CD.

And I think Nero has unlimited MP3 decode - it's only encoding (beyond the 30 trial limit) that you need to buy the plugin for (or use the free LAME-based one)

If you put them into a DATA project, they are stored as is.

.cda is not a file. It is a Windows explorer symbolic link for RAW filestreams put on CD as audio format. You can find .cda on audio CD's, but NEVER on harddisk.

Re wav 2 cda

The problem with Nero audio is that the audio CD you burn will play OK on your computer but not always on a car or other CD Player.

This is what you are looking for, download a 30 day trial program that converts mp3 and wav to cda.

EAC -- Exact Audio Copy -- is pretty famous on these boards for accurately ripping songs from cd and storing them as .wav files on hard disk. The most recent versions of EAC will now also burn .wav files to cd so they can be played on any cd player that reads from cdrs. AND EAC is free!
