It is DESIGNED for voice recording (about the same bandwidth as a telephone), and is basically unacceptable for CD recording. If you want to record CD quality sound, you need something like Digital Ears or Digital Microphone that record at 16 bit/44kHz stereo.... Or you could hack a serial cable from the digital out of your CD player to the DSP and write some DSP assembly to convert between the CD out format to a .snd format....
