Default How come .wavs take up more space than their equiv. .cda files on a CD?

"Justin Ulysses Morse" wrote ...
I think what he really wanted to know is why you can record 74 minutes
of audio on a 650MB CD-R, but 74 minutes of audio data takes up more
than 650MB of disk space on a data-format CD-ROM or on a hard drive.


Because the CD-ROM data format uses significantly more error
detection/correction overhead than the Red Book audio format uses.
