If it's a file that's readable in dos/win, then you can burn it to a cd.
Most of the people who do this write the files in the format that audio cd
players use. I have seen combination audio cd/mp3/wav players, but I'm not
sure if they can play mp3 format disks. they might only be able to play
mp3/wav files if they are in memory. One such device is the Creative Nomad
Jukebox. Audio files of any format can be burned on cd-r, it's just that
audio cd players only play the audio cd format. These files will have a .cda
extension if viewed with explorer. Almost all of the cd-r software will
allow you to create audio disks from wav files, I believe. I think all you
have to do is use the wizard and tell it you want to create an audio cd and
select the files you want burned. And also, if you are trying to record
audio onto your computer, instead of the windows recorder, you should look
to see if there is an audio utility that came with your sound card for doing
this. If there is not, you might want to check the sound card mfrs web site
to see if they have one. and note that if you are recording from a
turntable, you may need to use a preamp with inverse riaa equalization for
flat response.
