What is a .CDLX file?
A .CDLX file is a special kind of file used by a program called Adobe Audition, which is a tool for making and editing audio. Think of a .CDLX file like a blueprint for a music CD. It tells the computer how to organize songs or audio tracks on a CD, including the order of the songs and information about each song, like the title and artist. This is helpful for people who want to make their own music CDs with a professional look and sound.
To open or use a .CDLX file, you need to have Adobe Audition, specifically the 2023 version or another version that supports .CDLX files. Adobe Audition is a powerful program used by professionals to edit audio. It can do a lot of things with sound, like mixing different sounds together, cleaning up audio to remove unwanted noise, and even creating sound effects for movies or podcasts.
Adobe first introduced the .CDLX file format with a version of Audition called CS6, which came out in April 2012. This format is pretty flexible because it can work with any type of audio that Adobe Audition supports. Also, a .CDLX file can hold a lot of audio—up to about 78 minutes worth, which is about the same amount of music you can fit on a regular audio CD.
If you want to make a .CDLX file yourself using Adobe Audition, you start by opening the program and choosing to create a new CD Layout. Then, you add your audio tracks to this layout and arrange them how you like. You can also change settings for each track, like how long the pause should be between songs. When you're happy with how everything looks, you save your work as a .CDLX file. Later, you can use this file to burn your audio tracks onto a CD in the exact order and arrangement you chose.
