This might sound silly but dont know how to do it.
Ive got some mp3's i downloaded which i want to listen to in my normal cd player, but it only plays normal shop bought music cds
But how do i convert mp3 to this type of file and whats it called.
Can i do it in windows media player

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent,
the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

    Use Nero Burning ROM (or similar) to create an Audio CD.

    Just drag and drop the MP3s into it and burn them, it converts them to the correct format automatically :)

    I usually use nero but I have been know to use Rixio recordnow which is just as good as nero

    BTW make sure you close the discs tehre should be an option for that as some cd player are a little funny with sessions not closed.

    Hi,
    Basically you have to record as AUDIO not digital.

    You can do it in windows media player - it will automatically convert the mp3 to the correct file type (.cda files - cd audio files) without you having to know anything about the formats, if you are using Win XP its nice and easy - click on Start > My Music (as long as you've stored your files their), then select the mp3s you want to write and click on 'Copy to Audio CD' or right click and select 'add to burn list', which will open Windows Media Player with the files selected, ready to burn to a CD.
