"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.

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.

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.
