How can I make mp3 files play in a cd player that doesnt read mp3s?

- tried to convert to wav and burn on a cd, still doesnt understand
- I think I need to convert to .cda format but couldnt find the converter for this.

Any help will be great
Thanks

nero has a function that has audio cd maker... it converts it for you...

All new CD/DVD burning software does it these days, perhaps you need to upgrade yours.

Which software you using at the moment?

thanks for your help guys,
I have never used this functionality before,
It seems that I was over-complicating the solution,

issue fixed through ibm recordnow, my standard cd burning software

IBM, I called them Suxbm, as i've had so many of them before from work and they have to be the worst notebook range i've ever use, fix and try to warranty for my clients. Record so far is send 13 back for warranty within 4 mths and take them 2mths to fix each

Wouldn't use one if you give the lastest top spec to me.

anything that comes from ibm sucks. i support lotus notes and hate the damn thing with a passion. the newest windows media player should be able to record audio cd's for u shouldnt it?

Yeah just use Nero. Make an "Audio CD" and select all your MP3's - it will convert them for you

I agree as well,
Its just a work computer that I use all the time though,
And its wireless capability doesnt work,

have to use network cables!!!

Once they're converted to CDA format do they retain the same compression size as the original MP3?

Of course not.

although windows media player takes longer to burn a cd then most other ones (i.e. nero), same as using the windows XP CD burning thingo to burn data cds, microsoft over complecate things (i.e. when u burn a data cd it copys it to a folder then burns it then deletes it, instead of just burning from where the source is)
