[P1] Problem with a CD

[Rebecca J. Hoffman]

I'm pretty sure she did it on a PC, but other than that I have no idea. 
The file is named "Track01.cda.

Wouldn't the file show the correct size on my iBook? All my other audio 
CD tracks do.

When I click on "Get Info" for other CD tracks, it opens a window in 
iTunes with information. When I do the same with this file, it opens 
the usual "Get Info" window and identifies it as a document.

I'll e-mail my friend and have her try again.
