music cd's

[Aaron Cannon]

CD tracks are actually very similar to wav files, but not the same.  .wav 
files almost always have a riff format header which cd audio tracks 
lack.  Also, cd audio tracks are limited to being 44.1KHZ 16 bits and 
stereo.  .wav files have no such limitations.  Just in case it matters to 
anyone. <g>
