Thank you all so very much for all your great suggestions. So nice to have a place like this to post difficult question and get some solid information in return. We are working with the CDA files (able to open them in Realplayer) and were able to convert them from the original CD. I have sent an email to my client requesting them to send us WAV or WMA files in the future if at all possible. Take care everyone! Have a great Sunday!

This thread has actually been helpful to me. In researching your problem, I learned a great deal about encrypted files. A .CDA-formatted audio file is a strange bird.<br />
<br />
The 44-byte size is confusing, but here is an EXCELLENT explanation about .CDA files: <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/how_to_work_with_audio_cd_cda_files.htm" target="_blank">"How to Work With Audio CD .CDA Files"</a><br />

The actual audio file is hidden (encrypted) on the CD, which is why we can only play it and not copy…

The actual audio file is hidden (encrypted) on the CD, which is why we can only play it and not copy it, UNLESS we have the right software tools in our arsenal to do so.

I also didn't realize the limitations of the file size to 44 bytes, but I did notice that the downloaded files all have 44 bytes. Wow!

Well, I discovered your last tip by mistake. As you know, I drove to the office to get the actual CDs and I just ran the converstion software (Switch) and it WORKED! Now, I should be able to send that converted file to the reporter! OMIGOSH!!! I have spent at least four hours on this. The only saving grace is that the client is well worth it.

Oh, one more thing. You may know this, but I will just mention it, just in case.<br />
<br />
You must CONVERT the file that is actually on the CD. You cannot copy the CDA file on the CD, paste it onto your desktop, and then convert it.<br />
<br />
This same thing happened to me recently. It is so frustrating.

Cynthia, I have also had trouble with those stupid CDA-formatted files in the past.<br />
<br />
If I try to send them to another, they only receive 44 bytes. In other words, you cannot e-mail and send via FTP a CDA file.<br />
<br />
There must be a software out there that you can use to CONVERT the CDA file to WAV.<br />

Here's an update. Getting weird. I tried EVERYTHING that everyone suggested. I tried CDex, I tried MP3 converter, Total Rerecorder, all with no luck. Now here's the weird part. I drove to the office and got the original CDs. I played them on the computer at the office and I can hear them just fine. Okay. Good deal, right? Well, I get them home and put those same CDs on my computer and nothing. In fact, if I click on the properties for that file on the CD it says there is zero there. What the…

But try <a href="http://youconvertit.com/" target="_blank">Youconvertit.com</a>, you never know.<br />
