Here is something about .cda files, for what it's worth...

What is CDA?
CD Audio (.cda) tracks are audio files that can be stored on CD media.
The .cda files are representations of CD audio tracks and do not
contain the actual pulse code modulation (PCM) information. Cda files
can be played only from a CD-ROM. To test a .cda file, either try to
play a different .cda file from your CD-ROM or try to play a .cda file
from a different CD-ROM. Copied from the CD-ROM to the hard disc it
cannot be played. This is format used for encoding music on all
commercial compact discs. If you buy a CD from a store, the music on
that CD is stored in CDA format.
...
Unfortunately, your computer can't store files in CDA format, so you
still have to convert CDA files to another format to store on your
hard disk.

HTH,
