Hi /g/, when you buy a music album physically, music is in WAV. But is it at 16-bit or 24-bit WAV?
16 bit. 44100Hz
16

As far as I know, cds can only have a bit depth of 16
I wanted to ask about this too, how comes 24-bit is never used? is it to improve playback?

Because 16bit 44.1 KHz is the spec, deviate from that and you need special equipment to play it.

Would use up too much space, plus i don't know if 24 bit depth was available during the 80s and 90s
Plus its just placebo

well now you can buy it at stores as bleep with 2016 electronic albums but I've never tried it

Red Book audio is 16bit PCM stored on a compact disc, delimited by sub-channels to allow CD players to queue tracks. It isn't a filesystem, and the contents of a Red Book CD-R do not have a file format. WAV is simply the smallest step you can make to represent that PCM audio as a single file.
Newer standards exist. Scarlet Book audio (SACD) and HFPA (Blu-Ray) both exceed the quality of red book audio. Which is probably what you're looking for.
