From the sox man page....

       .cdr      CD-R
                 CD-R files are used in mastering music  on  Com­
                 pact  Disks.  The audio data on a CD-R disk is a
                 raw audio file with a format  of  stereo  16-bit
                 signed samples at a 44khz sample rate.  There is
                 a special blocking/padding oddity at the end  of
                 the  audio file and is why it needs its own han­
                 dler.
