What is a TQD file?

TQD files mostly belong to Torq-DJ by Avid Technology, Inc. Torq LE does not update the song’s ID3 tag with your edits. Instead, your edited fields are stored in a special file with the same name as the song, but with the extension .TQD. This is the Torq LE Data file. By saving your edits to the TQD file, Torq LE can save your changes much faster (changing an ID3 tag requires re-writing the entire audio file, something that could affect system performance during live use).
