how big is the file? usually .cda files are on actual cds. maybe you could burn it to a cd and then rip it.

When a digital audio CD is examined in Windows Explorer (etc) a CDA file is listed for each track. Double-clicking on a CDA file will start the Windows CD Player program and play the track. However, the CDA files are only 44 bytes long and are therefore shortcuts to the actual track information which doesn't appear in the directory listing. Copying a CDA file will not copy the music - to do that you need to use a CD Ripper (DAC) program.

Sheez if music files where 1kb in size, think of how many could fit on a CD! (waits for a nerd to chime in with the exact answer)
