Hi!
I don't know if Nero or any other CD burning package can handle this, but if I
want lossless export from any audio editor I would much prefer flac (f, l, a,
c,) instead of wave. It takes up a lot less of diskspace and more and more
programs are supporting playing FLAC-files.
However, one could argue that wave still will be better in some cases. The only
case I have come to know over the years is where you want to exchange files
between editors and still keep some region/markers inside the wave-container.
Sadly Audacity can't work with this kind of metadata, but it would certainly be
cool if it could convert those regions/markers from a wavefile to a label track.
FLAC can not at the moment (and to my knowledge) not save this kind of metadata
yet, but it would be great if that was the case.
Best regards Thomas

Yes, but as I recall, the question was how to burn them to a CD. I had
assumed the files were already in a standard format, not in the Audacity
proprietary format. Maybe we'll find out. That's why I said that there is
no point converting them to wave if they are already MP3 files. If they are
good quality recordings in the Audacity proprietary format, then wave should
be what they are exported to.

Hi Gene
As a final comment on this issue, the concept behind my original comment was
that the recording had been made in Audacity. For example, copying from a
vinyl record. In that case, assuming that Audacity is set to at least 16 bit
44.1 Hz, it is technically better to export as wav files than mp3 files. In
the case that you raised where one has a bunch of mp3 files obtained from who
knows where, there is no point in converting to wav. As you said, that will
not improve the quality.
In summary, my assumption was that the material had originally been recorded
in Audacity.

Why are you saying it is preferable to save as wave in Audacity? I've been
on the Audacity users list for years and no one has ever made that statement.
I didn't use Audacity much, but I have it and I have used it and saved to
MP3. I saw no inferior audio results compared to using MP3 Direct Cut in the
quality of the MP3 file. If your intention, regardless of what recording
program you use, is to create files you know you will burn later, then wave
is better because wave is a lossless format, but it doesn't matter what
recording program you use. Wave is lossless, and MP3 is lossie, (spelling.)

Gene, you are correct. At least with Nero Express I can burn mp3 files. But
if you have recorded into Audacity it is arguably preferable to export as
.wav, which is a lossless format. There will be some loss of quality when
saving as mp3, albeit that mp3 files at a high sample rate are pretty darn
good.

I doubt there is any reason that files need to be in the wave format. I
don't recall if I've burned MP3 files but I've never seen such a requirement
discussed and I'm more than skeptical. Burning programs have to convert the
files they are burning to the CD format so one original format should be able
to be burned as much as another. If someone has a lot of mp3 files he/she
wants to burn, why go through the trouble of converting them all to wave
files?

I suspect the issue is with the MPEG format. While some newer CD players
will handle a variety of formats, older players expect the disk to be in the
audio CD format. Files to be burned should be in the .wav format at 16 bit
and 44.1 Hz.
Some time ago I went through the frustration of investigating Media Player.
For me, it is not worth the tedium. I have an aging copy of Nero Express.
To burn a CD I simply put the .wav files, appropriately named, into an empty
folder. Having selected all files, I press Application Key and arrow to burn
with Nero. Then, follow a few prompts and the job is done.
If you want a free, accessible CD burner, I have positive reports about CD

Yes, I followed your steps and got a cd burned. It came out in something
called mpeg4 audio. It wouldn’t play on my stereo cd player though so don’t
know why not. I really appreciate all your help. Maybe I should send you a
spindle of cdrs, ssmile.

Larry,
In step four the two choices are radio buttons so only one can be checked.
Which ever one is checked when you advance to the next button is what you
will end up with. You may try arrowing up and down between them then tabbing
to the next button. I have no idea what type of files end up burning onto
the CD, I always start out with MP3. I export all my Audacity work as MP3
but I doubt that’s the issue. After hitting the next button in step four the
Media player should open. There have been times when I’ve had to shift tab to
the media player If it doesn’t show up right away. Once at the media player
just tab until you find the start burn button. I turned a lot of blank CD’s
Into little frisbies or drink coasters figuring this out. Maybe there’s
something off in your Media Player settings and I’m not sure what to tell you
on that. I just followed these steps and made a cd that I’m playing on a
portable boom box right now. Good luck and tell me if you get it. You may
also try the method the other gentleman suggested. One more thing, what kind
of CDs are you using? Blank or re-writable? I’ve never had luck with the CD
RW for anything other than data storage.

Larry,
I’ve made some changes in my instructions. Step 4 is most likely where you
had a problem. Let me know if you get it this time.
1. install blank disc into drive.
2. Open album and select all songs you want burned Control+A.
3. open Application menue and enter on, Send To, then enter on the CD
Drive. The drive opens and asks which kind of disc to choose. Choose to
use with a CD player then tab to next. This will lead to a message that says
You have files ready to be burned to disc.
4. Open Application Menu and enter on Burn to disc. The first round in the
dialog has disc name and recording speed and I leave these on the defaults.
After hitting the Next button you have a choice to make. There are two
choices. Be sure to choose, Make an audio CD for standard CD players.
Hitting the Next button will take you to the Media Player.
5. Tab until you find the Start Burn button . Enter on this button and
you’re off to the races.
6. Go back to the drive, open Application menu and enter on Delete Tempory
Files to clear the files for the next burn.

Steve, I must be doing something wrong. Here’s what I did.
1. navigated to the desired folder in file explorer.
2. opened the file.
3. selected all tracks.
4. Applicationed on it and selected send to and then my dvd/cd drive.
5. picked the cd radio button and went to next.
I never got to windows media player and the burn button. I could get the lot
of tracks to burn only by navigating to the dvd/cd drive in my computer and
application my way down to burn. I could only get m4a tracks when I’d really
like an audio cd playable on any cd player. Any ideas?
