Why do Audio CDs have a date of 1.01.1995?

[Meowster]

So I wanted to ask this question for a long time now. Why do Audio CDs always have a file date of 1.01.1995? Is this normal for CDs to have this date? Also, why are all the files only 1KB in size?

I hope someone can answer my questions

 

Thanks

I can't say about the date, but the 1KB in size is just how Windows sees the audio tracks. Those "files" are actually just shortcuts to the physical audio tracks on the CD. If you copy them to HDD they'll only work if you have CD in the drive. And they are always 1KB (or around that) in size like regular shortcuts.
