CDA files

[tatala]

Windows XP
If I double click on my cd player icon on the desktop it will open the files on a cd that is in the player and play them. The cd is one that I made from mp3 files and I converted them to wav files and than burned them to an audio cd. If I explore the cd the files are listed as track01 thru track18 and they all have the cda extension. Now the above is fine and what I want. However if I double click on a cda file to open and play it in the VLC Player it opens the player but won't play the file. Should it do this and if the answer is no I want to have it open and play a cda file when I double click on the file. How can I accomplish this?

Mine VLC doesn't identify CDA files so I am guessing neither should yours.

cda are nothing, just link to the audio.

Open an audio disk in VLC.

Can't open an audio disc (.cda files) in VLC

Normal. Open the disc from within VLC.

yes.. the how to: I use VLC 0.8.5 and very happy! To hear the CDA file.. start VLC and click on file.. then click on open Disc.. click on Disc tab.. then select AudioCD. Works for me everytime! Hope this helps!!
