Audio CD

From Audacity Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Audio CDs are CDs that contain a stream of uncompressed, lossless PCM  stereo audio at 44,100 Hz sample rate and 16 bit depth. This differentiates them from "data CDs" which can contain physical audio files in various formats including the compressed, lossy MP3 format. Computers will play any kind of CD, but standalone CD players such as in a car or a HI-FI will generally only play audio CDs.
