Thanks to everyone who has responded to my query - it's obviously not as simple a job as I had imagined. My intention was to copy files onto DVD's to distribute to friends to play on DVD players, not computers. However, I am puzzled by some of the comments on audio files - I thought I'd got that one right. I know that I have copied WAV files (generated by Finale) onto CD's which have then been playable on ordinary stand-alone CD players (or at least on the ones I have used) hence my misunderstanding. Maybe my software is doing something I don't understand here and performing some conversion without explaining it to me.
If you want to put the audio files simply as DATA files, then you can copy the WAV files directly to the DVD. They will play just fine on your computer, and may play on some DVD players (the way that MP3 files can play on some DVD players). I don't know this for a fact, which is why I said "MAY play."
I find it hard to believe that you simply copied WAV files to a CD and then popped that CD into a CD player and got the WAV files to play.
Remember that using a CD burning program to create an audio CD may make it APPEAR that you are copying WAV files to the CD, what you're actually doing is simply entering a list of the files you want burned to the CD and the CD burning program converts them to CD-audio format while it burns them. And those can be played on any CD player.
