How to convert CDA to MP3

Actually, CDA format doesn't exist. CDA stands for CD Audio, and it has nothing to do with files. When an operating system detects an Audio CD, it reads some basic information on the CD, including number of tracks, CD Text (if present), total duration etc. As a way to access audio tracks, it also creates CDA labels. However, those CDA aren't real files, and it is impossible to copy them as usual, by selecting and dragging them. The audio tracks won't be copied. Only CDA labels will be, and they are useless without the Audio CD.

So, if you want to convert CDA to MP3, you should rip your Audio CD. CDA labels can't be converted at all, as they contain no audio information. Soundtaxi is such a tool can help you convert CDA to MP3.
