CDDA files are raw audio extracted directly from compact discs, offering uncompressed and high-fidelity sound. SNDR is a more compressed audio format that balances quality with smaller file sizes, making it ideal for streaming and portable devices. While CDDA ensures maximum audio fidelity, SNDR provides enhanced convenience and compatibility.
Keep original CDDA rips as WAV/AIFF masters (16-bit/44.1 kHz) to preserve full source quality before converting to SNDR.
For best quality retention, choose lossless SNDR or the High quality SNDR setting; lossy SNDR at high VBR can be acceptable for portable use.
For batch conversions, process whole albums as a single job and use consistent tagging templates to avoid manual edits.
Optimal single-file sizes depend on quality: expect ~40–50MB per track for lossless SNDR and 3–8MB per track for high-quality lossy SNDR.
