There are some CDs to buy, yes!!

"CD Audio" is the usual name for what Red Book describes.
It is an agreement first made by Philips & SONY.
-------------------------------------------------------
I have made a search.
Keywords: Standard definition "for download" "Red Book" "CD Audio"
This got it downto 19 hits with google
google hits - 19 hits
-------------------------------------------------
found these 2 PDFs:

SONY - CD Audio Manual 50 pages

Compact Discs - Technical Specifications 55 pages

😉 Hope it helps, Circlotron

😎 Will you start burning CDs?

Is there something special you are wondering about? Maybe I or someone else can give you some input.

You are searching for the CD standard "Red book" I suppose?

I was wanting to see if there was some way to squeeze 24 bit audio data onto a normal CD-DA track for the sake of playing it on a 24 bit DVD player. I did some looking in the meantime and it looks a bit scary... :cannotbe:

That shouldn't be a probelem.

What I know the format uses 32 bits to store the musicinfo.
Even when music is recorded in 16 or 20-bits.
So there are a lot of unused bits.
You could say that CD-format is "future-safe".
No need to squeeze.
-----------------------------------
You might get some bits info from the datasheets of
these ICs that has to be able to handle ALL FORMATS:
CS8404 96kHz Digital audio Transmitter
CS8414 96kHz Digital audio Receiver
CS8420 24bit Digital audio Sample Rate Converter
Cirrus Logic CS8420

CS8420 Digital Audio Sample Rate Converter - Cirrus Logic homepage

on same page is a PDF:
AN022 Overview of Digital Audio Interface Data Structures (pdf) 02/1998, AN22REV2

and some other PDF you can get from this site

They are really specialist in CD-data - CIRRUS LOGIC!!!!!!!!

I looked at that one, is SPDIF type stuff unfortunately. CD technical spec thing and Sony thing are both specifications that CD manufacturers require of people submitting a recording to them for manufacture as discs. Thanks anyway halo. 🙂

No,

Redbook Audio CD's are encoded as 16bit 44.1kHz the remaining area on the CD is used for error correction etc.

The problem still remains, since no formal format exists for 24bit audio on a CD, unless you find some oddball non-standard player, you wont be able to play the discs even if you can find a way to create them. However, all is not lost, HDCD is a possibility (though it's only 20bit), DTS is a possibility, WAV (the file format that is) is a possibility.

Hi,

Red book costs big bucks!

There ia an equivalent standard that is available on the web ECMA-130 available at http://www.ecma.ch/publications/standards/ECMA-130.htm

There are a number of other standards available at the site, it is worth looking through the site.

The standard is everything a standard normally is, ie, presciptive rather than descriptive.

There is no real unused available space in the standard CD format.

Regards,
Bob
