does anybody know why dvd use files for audio and video but audio cd's not?
What could be the reason for this?
e.g. they could make a file for each track and just put them on an
audio cd and make cd players compatible with this format. So for me it
has always been a mystery why audio cd's work this way.

does anybody knows if super audio cd's still work the same as normal ones?
