how do I convert a cda file to wav ? Thanks

You can rip the CD using many programs including Media Player. If you are not intending to create MP3, only WAV you do not even need ripping software. Change your CDFS.VXD to the one below and evertime you enter an audio CD in Explorer you will have the WAV's ready. Go here: - http://www.sonicspot.com/alternatecdfsvxd/alternatecdfsvxd.html Alternate CDFS.VXD 4.00.1030 Description An alternate Windows 9x CD-ROM driver that allows you to access your audio CD tracks as WAV files. Once installed, there will be an array of folders listed for the audio CD in the CD-ROM's drive. All the tracks are listed as WAV files in each of the folders made for each combination of formats (Mono/Stereo, 8Bit/16Bit, 11025Hz/22050Hz/44100Hz). When you access the files from Windows Explorer or a program's open dialog, it automatically converts your CD's audio data to WAV file data in the correct format. To install the alternate virtual device driver: Download and unzip the file into a temporary folder. Back up your old Windows\System\IOSubSys\cdfs.vxd file so you can restore the current configuration if it doesn't work for your set-up. Copy the alternate cdfs.vxd from the temporary folder you unzipped it to over the original one. Reboot.

You can download Music Match. It works really well, and is easy to use.

hello you can allso get a good free converter called CDex at http://www.download.com it will convert just about any audio file type to any other type. it is allso a grate easy to use cd ripping program. have a nice day

A very good converter that I use is dbPowerAmp - it's available from http://www.dbpoweramp.com and I find it's the best convertor around. It extracts at a perfect speed I find, as faster converters pick up on scratches much more and imperfections, and cause much skipping in the extracted tracks. It can convert to many formats, and convert between file formats, plus is very easy to use
