Dear all
I'm trying to get any music player for songs with extension .cda, but no sucsess.
This files are very small and if converted to wma or mp3 it will take much much space.
This type of songs.cda comes with cd

Best Regards

You can't do that. I'm not sure how it precisely works. But a .cda file cannot be played at all. Its some kind of index file used by cd's, but you can't simply copy these files. There's no other way than converting cd's to wma or mp3.

.cda is just a shortcut to pcm waw file on cd. waws are uncompressed with data flow of around 10MB per minute. Mp3 is roughly 1mb per minute. In other words .cda just points where to look for the file like .lnk files (shortcuts). Info here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD_Audio_track_shortcut).
