No no no.  The files you see have a .cda extension, but they don't contain any audio data at all.  Audio data on audio CDs are stored on various tracks in PCM format.

Lol, never actually heard of TTA.  FLAC is more known (I believe it's part of OGG too).

Syfe Wrote:Or it can be CDA>WMA (> meant to this format) i have the "Descent 2" Sound track at 64 Kb/sec each and it plays at like an 128 or 196kb/sec mp3

I still strongy say that 64 kbps WMA ≠ 128kbps MP3.  In fact 96kbps MP3 > 64kbps WMA.

Long way: Track01.cda >("Xmplay's Encoder") Track01.ogg >("OGGdropXPd") Track01.ogg.wav or Track01.wav > Track01.wav.mp3 (using lame)
Short way: Track01.cda > Track01.mp3 (just using Xmplay, however no control on quality)

???  That's kinda, erm... yeah, odd.  Typically, if you want quality, rip to a lossless format, like directly to PCM or FLAC.  Ripping to OGG means you loose quality, which you cannot magically regain by decoding it to PCM.  If you have OGG, keep it as OGG (unless you need to use another format).
I still prefer dedicated CD rippers - I usually use CDex to rip CDs.  Some people prefer EAC (Exact Audio Copy).

Lossless compression is ALWAYS VBR, so it's impossible to predict.  Typically, a 2:1 ratio with PCM (uncompressed data).
