What is a MP3 file?
MP3 is one of the most iconic and widely used audio formats in the world. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable sound quality. MP3 revolutionized digital music distribution and became the standard format for portable media players and online music sharing.
Thanks to its balance of quality and size, MP3 remains highly relevant for casual listening, streaming, and downloading music. Nearly every media player and device supports it natively.
How to open MP3 files
MP3 files can be opened with virtually any media player: Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC, Winamp, and countless mobile apps all support the format.

What is a CDDA file?
CDDA stands for Compact Disc Digital Audio, the standard format used for audio CDs. It’s defined by the Red Book standard and stores uncompressed PCM audio with 16-bit resolution at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate. This ensures high-quality sound reproduction, closely matching what was originally recorded in the studio.
CDDA files are typically extracted from audio CDs and saved with extensions like .cda or .wav. Although streaming has largely replaced physical media, CDDA is still used in professional audio production and archival purposes where quality matters.
How to open CDDA files
CDDA files usually appear as .cda shortcuts on Windows when browsing an audio CD. To open or play CDDA tracks, you can use Windows Media Player, VLC, or iTunes.
To preserve or share CDDA audio, extract (rip) the tracks to WAV, FLAC, or MP3 using AnyConv or dedicated CD ripping software.
