MP3 and WAV files are commonly used with CDs.
Among the many dozens of file types across the Internet, it can be difficult to know which extension is best for you and your programs. While CDA files are compatible with a number of Windows and Mac programs, they are not nearly as compatible as the similar MP3 file format. You can convert your CDA files to MP3 format in just minutes using the iTunes media player, the Music Match Jukebox or free online sites like Zamzar.
