I recently downloaded some mp3s of 320 kbps. When I burned them to a cd with Windows Media Player, they seemed to become CDA files of 1KB. Can anyone explain this?

Thats how a music Cd looks. You can now play it in a Cd player

Which means you burned it as a n audio CD. If you had wanted them to remain as MP3s you need to burn it as a Data CD.

Thank you Snow Dog, this was so blindingly obvious, I could not see what was under my nose.

I'm probably missing the obvious again here, but how do I check the kbps and format of a music cd? Do I have to rip back to my computer's hard drive?

.cda is the same as a .wav

You cannot "see" into a .cda...when you put it on your pc it converts to a wav for maximum size.

What you have is a normal CD with the same properties as any other CD.....your limitations in quality is only the limitations of the source. So you have a CD with the same ammount of loss from the sound as a 320 mp3
