Subject: Re: Why can't I play in Winamp?

hi.  but if you try to play the .cda file in Winamp, it won't play.  So,
let's make this really super simple.

Use Winamp, or any other CD ripping program to rip the tracks from your CD
into mp3 or any other  format you choose.

To make a compilation to play in a regular CD player, you need to burn, not
rip, but burn a cd of all your songs.  Ripping and burning are different
processes.
So even if you just copied the.cda files from your cd to your hard drive,
Winamp wouldn't be able to play it, because all Winamp does is access your
Windows cd player to play the files, it doesn't actually have a cd player
built into it.  Winamp just routes the cd player to it and plays the CD
through it instead of the CD player.
Hope that makes sense?
