I want a friend to listen to a commercial CD track and analyze it for me. Every time I try to "attach" the CD track, he seems to get only the "header" of the CD but not the actual music.

Am I missing something? Do I have to get the CD into a different format to email it as an attachment?

You'd need to rip the audio first. A .wav file might be too big to email, though, unless you have FTP capability. An mp3 might suffice if you keep the sample rate high, 192k or above.
 
:D Hey Moton-da-man:

You need to have a "CD program" in your PC and understand how it rips/grips and sends.

I've received and sent tracks via my program; however, I don't like the program I have at this time. So, I prefer to burn and send via USPO mail.

So, you may just be missing a "right" click versus the left click with your program. It's a confusing world of clicks.

Have a great new week.

I'd listen to MadAudio. I would curse and swear at someone trying to email me a CD audio track. CD tracks use about 9 meg a minute, so a four minute track is about 36 meg. That is seriously big to be sending around in an email, even with broadband.
 
If you and your friend have messenger (MSN or other) you can use the file transfer feature. E-mail will only allow attachments up to a certain size, with file transfer your only limit is the amount of available space on your friends comp.
 
Many of the email servers around the web (and mailboxes at ISPs) have a limit set on them on the size of emails. Often its as low as 2Mb; Yahoo allows 10Mb within its own system. They do that to keep you from choking the systems and melting the servers.... nothing you can do about it.

It only costs $1.04 to put a CD-R in the mail.
