how to convert wma files to play on regular CD player?
Hey
Excuse this lame question - but I've been scrathing my head for a while - I can't get files that I've ripped to WMA to play ona regular CD player - do I need to convert them to a different files type? Is it one that I can use the music converter to convert?
cheers

to burn to cd you actually need a cd burning program. dbpoweramp has a cd writer 30 day trial here: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/cdwriter.htm
there are free ones around, just do a google on "cd burning software"

Thanks Razgo
I have been burning CDs using windows Media Player 9 - I ripped some of my CDs and saved them as Windows Media Player 9 files, but now the Media Player won't convert them to a format I can play on a CD player (eg. cda). Do I need to get software to convert the wma files to cda format? Is there any other format that plays on regular CD players, 'cos I've got some songs recorded on music software that I also want to put on a CD.
I'm looking around for wma to cda conversion software.
Thanks again.

You cannot "convert" to cda format. cda files are only pointers to where the song is located on the CD.
Also, what you need is software that will burn an "Audio" CD or something similar. Easy CD/DVD Creator will do this, as will Nero, but both cost money. I don't know of any free burning programs off the top of my head, though.

Thanks
So, which format do I need to save my files as in order to play them on a regular cd player?
'Cos the files I ripped as wma files burn to the cd as wma files but won't play on my cd player.
Sorry - I'm a little confused :o

You need a burning program that will make an Audio CD. The converter converts them to audio and puts a .cda file pointing there on the CD. I would think WMP 9 would be able to this, but I have never tried it myself.
As far as formats, wav is guaranteed to work, but as long as the CD burning program understands the file, they can be whatever. Normally mp3 and wma files work too, but it differs from program to program on the remainder of formats.
