Default mp3

an ordinary cd player plays "wav" files. Some quality is lost on converting wav to mp3.

??? Not to sure what you mean but;

If you have an mp3 playing head unit in the car then just burn the mp3 you want onto a cd as if it was just a data cd. If not then you need to convert them to cdda format and have the corret cue format for the disk. Windows Media Player will do either of these actions for you easy. HTH

When you have NERO (burning program), just click audio cd and the mp3 will automaticly convert to "normal" audio.

Otherwise, look at www.download.com and search for mp3 converter.

No cos they need converted to .CDDA and then authored (burnt) as a CD cue format for a normal cd player to recognise. As mentioned WMP will do the lot for you.

Select the file/s you want whilst exploring your computer then just click right mouse button and select 'Add to Burn List'. It will open WMP and then you just select whether you want a data cd i.e. same format mp3 or audio cd i.e cdda (wav) format. Put in a blank cd-r then click burn...
