in some playable audio format like (assuming Windows) WAV or MP3?
If so you can use any of a number of tools to burn the audio as Red Book
(audio CD). Nero is my favorite (and has plug-ins for nearly any format)
but EasyCD and Windows Media Player can also do it (although the number of
import formats is different). I'm 99% sure that WinAmp (with the
appropriate pluig-ins) can also do this.
Since you started with DAT I assume that the quality of the audio is about
as high as you'll have. If not you can get filters and such (there are
options for most of the tools I mentioned) to eliminate hiss and pop.
In general the process is simple. Carve up your raw audio into tracks (a
Red Book CD can hold 74 minutes of audio so that's your hard limit). The
tools (with varying degrees of interface elegance) allow you to set up the
tracks in the order you like and burn the disc.
If you'd like more details let us know what formats the source content is in
and if you have a tool already in mind.

Subject: Burning an audio cd
Ok,
I need some advice.
Years ago, I started recording my parent's history on DAT. My dad died
suddenly 4 years ago, and up until this time, I haven't been able to do
anything with the tapes. I'm ready to start, I want to create audio CD's
that I can give to other members of my family. What is the best way of
going about this?
I got the information saved to my hard drive. But now what?
Any and all advice is welcome
Btw, don't attempt to do something like this and then go see Tim Burton's
Big Fish. I ended up crying my eyes out Sandy
