what file to use for burning cd's&be recognized!?

[kristens_sweetwax]

Help! I'm sorry I'm sure this is a stupid ?, but here it comes... I made a cd last week, no problems. I've been using limewire, and nero to download songs and to burn. I guess I never looked to see what file, and lucked out. I did look on one message, i went to tools options and "allowed" .wmv & .asf files. I have not tried it yet, I'm at work...

The problem was when I burned another cd last night all the files were mp3 files, and not thinking dl'd them all, obviously, none of my cd players would recognize the cd... did I solve the problem with "allowing" those other files? Anotherwords what file do they have to be to be burned and recognized by a cd player?

see if this link helps ..basically you need to burn an Audio cd not an mp3 cd ..I think ..An mp3 cd will play but only in some CD players.

Thanks for the help, I did choose auto cd... but for some reason, I figured out that NERO will convert the files, but it was not burning the info onto my cd. I ended up using windows media player, and it worked, so it's not my burner....

I like using NERO, but now I don't know why it did not burn the actual cd???? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

The link I gave you is very clear about how to use Nero. ... so perhaps you should justtry another programme like iTunes or as you say you used .. WMP
