here is what occured on this fateful night...tis a great conspiracy...

1. I put in a burned CD into my CDRW drive...
2. I direct connected with someone on AIM
3. I send a track (through the window, using the picture sending icon) directly off the CD (as a .cda file, I learned later)
4. The file sent instantly (it was 44 bytes..or something to that effect)
5. The person CLAIMS (vehemently) that the file PLAYED in HP Music Match Jukebox
6. HOW!?>!?!?!?!?!

This is not an mp3..its a burned .cda file sent directly over AIM in an INSTANT..how did it send so quickly and play as a music data file on that software???

WHAT!?!?!? thats not what i was asking! i was asking HOW the .cda file played in musicmatch jukebox on someone ELSES computer (who didnt have the CD!)
 
The file sent instantly (it was 44 bytes..or something to that effect)

If a music file where only 44 bytes for 5 minutes, me I'm the best candidate for the 2004 elections. I would dickslap Kerry and be the master daddy of Bush at Third Strike

Those tiny files are track files or some index shit and are not the actual audio track itself. You have to rip them before you can send.
