You cant use a .CDA in that mannor, the .CDA file is what tells the CD-Rom where to look for the hidden .WAV file on the CD itself.

Edit: That is if I remember correctly..

QuoteMicrosoft

CD Audio Track (.cda)
Versions of Windows Media Player that support this file type: • Windows Media Player 7
• Windows Media Player for Windows XP
• Windows Media Player 9 Series
CD Audio (.cda) tracks are audio files that are stored on CD media. You can play .cda files only from a CD-ROM. As a result, a sample file cannot be included in this article for you to play. 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. The .cda files are representations of CD audio tracks and do not contain the actual pulse code modulation (PCM) information. You cannot play the file if you copy a .cda file from the CD-ROM to your hard disk.[/b]
I couldent find the link I was looking for but thats sorta what I was getting at with the .CDA files, been awhile.

I'm not completely sure what your trying to do lol but you cant actually see the .WAV files that are on the CD.

Dragon, listen
you know "Windows Media Player" - Well when you put CD in it plays the music of it.

So the solution then would be to take the information dragon has been kind enough to give you, figure out how to use the cda files to find the appropriate media file, and play it?
