How to send an audio CD via internet as a single file?
I have a final musc CD hard copy ready to send to a customer. Normally I would send it via physical mail.
Is there a method to upload the full CD as 1 file rather than the individual song files.
I would like to upload it to my Google Drive and allow the customer to download it as a full CD, to retain the song order, spacing between songs, etc..
Is this possible?

That is an interesting question and I think off the top of my head the answer might be no. What do you want the person at the other end to do with the file though? Do you expect them to burn an audio CD and then play it from there. If that is the case then you might be able to do it if you both have the same CD burning software and you are able to make a single image of the CD hence you can up load, they download and burn a CD. But then you would both need the same CD burning software. Would you be happy with them getting a bunch of quality mp3 files? Then all you have to do is to make the mp3 files, zip them all up into a zip archive (no compression though) Then upload, they download, extract and all you have to do is tell them the song order and they can arrange that in their playback device and away they go. You could also put numbers 01 to 0X etc in front of the mp3 titles and the song order will sort itself out. Otherwise mail the CD to them!

I've never heard of a method to send the entire CD via the net... individual tracks, obviously yes....
Send them the waves and let them build the CD... you can of course tell them the order of the tracks .... bu the only other option is to mail a copy of the CD.
So...... if it's a customer..... why wouldn't you send them the actual CD? Perhaps even by overnight delivery?
To me, sending the tracks to a paying customer/client and telling them to build their own CD is tacky...... unless they specifically asked you to do it that way for them.

Herb one thought would be to open a free dropbox account which they give you two gig of space.....so once you sign up for it you send a acceptence request to your customer and they accept and then these folderes are now linked.... once these folders are linked you two can now share infomation back and for for free....until one of you break the link by deleteing the folder.....it works so well..... for some reason I am thinking that you have CD architech? No? I keep wanting to get that program but if some one else you know has it maybe they can set you up a CD of these tracks....If I did I would do it for you.......I guess I am going to have to rethink this cause it is only like $99 or so...... But I am sure some one here would be willing to help you with this.....then just load the completed project up in dropbox and your client can down load it himself! You might be able to set this up in Sonar and "burn a CD" and then copy this CD into the dropbox.....I don't know but I would explore it.... just my two cents... Clifford

Yes, it's possible. I can do it in Wave Lab where it will export the entire CD as one big, long Wave file and will put track markers in as well. I can also do this using Studio One 2 as a DDP image file and convert the image file to a full blown, one wave file. The spacing will not be possible unless they literally cut up the wave file using a PQ sheet or at the markers if you provide markers in the long wave file. The wave file should be about 700 mb for approximately 10-12 songs. But yeah, it's possible and I've done it a few times in the past for people when they've asked. -Danny

it's easy - make an image of the CD, iso file. In Win7 right click on the CD and chose create image.

Do a search on ISO Image Files. ISO image files are single files that contain te contents of an entire CD or DVD. I believe (but I'm no expert) that you can burn a CD from an ISO image file using native facilities in Windows. However, you probably need a specialized utility to create the ISO image file. This is where you'll need to research further. Edit - I see that I overlooked offnote's post above where he says you can create an image in Windows. So, maybe this is dead simple.
