You have to convert to CDA (CD audio track)


aka "wave"


"aka wave"?? CDA (CD audio track) is not even a file format until
it's encoded to WAV. CDA is used for encoding music on commercial
CD's. You're converting CDA files to another format when storing on a
PC's hard drive. You obviously don't know the difference.


before encoding to WAV format.


One does not "encode" wave...it is what was on the CD, no change other
than a header.
IOW, "CDA" WAVE.


Again, for storage on a windows PC an encoding from CDA to WAV is
necessary, which now contains chunks of information, including PCM,
that the original CDA didn't have.


Besides converting a lossy
DRM WMA to WAV is not a good suggestion.


Why not? That is exactly what is done everytime it is played. However,
there is no "conversion", merely decoding.


It's not a good suggestion because Malcolm is using a Squeezebox. You
can't "squeeze" too many WAV's into a Squeezebox. You obviously
haven't even read the original post, and are only interested in
irrelevant rebuttal to which you know nothing about.

Do us all a favor and redo your amateurish website, take your ADHD
medication, and find a forum for vinyl and cassette relics.
