I have some music files(.wav). I'd like to burn that onto a CD. I have downloaded the "imgburn" software. I am having trouble figuring out the next steps. Does anybody know the exact steps? There are just so many options to choose from. I want to burn those wav files onto an AUdio CD that can play in my car's CD player.Can I burn those Wav files on a simple CD_R or do I have to have a different kind of disk?

Thanks for the help.

Burn audio CDs the easy way!

Burrrn is a little tool for creating audio CDs with CD-Text from various audio files. Supported formats are: wav, mp3, mpc, ogg, aac, mp4, ape, flac, ofr, wv, tta, m3u, pls and fpl playlists and cue sheets. You can also burn EAC’s noncompliant image + cue sheets! Burrrn can read all types of tags from all these formats (including ape tags in mp3). Burrrn uses cdrdao.exe for burning.

My favourite little audio burner, handles all important formats, and easily throttles the speed (for better quality and compatibility with older CD players, lower writing speeds do indeed have a measurable effect on the quality of the signal burned into a CD-R).

Burrrn is freeware (and easy to make "portable" with Universal Extractor).

Whether your car CD player will play them depends on the player. The stock Bose stereo in my 12 year old car plays burned CDs, but I've had modern rental cars whose CD players would not play them. But it won't be too hard to burn a CD and find out.

A simple CD-R is fine.

I don't think Imgburn can create audio CDs. I think it can only create data CDs, unless it's burning from an .iso image (which you don't have). Try CDBurnerXP, mentioned in this question.

John T.'s suggestion to use the built-in Windows software is also a good one.

The software I use is K3B on Ubuntu 9.10

You're likely to be using something different, but it's not a case of burning an image.

K3B calls it 'create an Audio CD'.

As for the media, it depends on your car CD player, but a modern CD player should play an Audio CD you've made with a CD-R.

Yes, you can use a CD-R.

To burn wav files, there is no additional software needed, right click the files and select Copy to CD or Device:

Windows Media Player will open and you can click the copy button if there is a CD in the drive.

In the context menu when you right-click the files, you can also use Send To -> CD-RW Drive (choose your CD burner). It will allow you to use the CD burning wizard.

Add the wav files to your library in Windows Media Player. Then Windows Media Player will be able to burn them to an audio CD. It will give you the right kind of CD (mastered, cda audio type) the first time, and there is no additional software required... this is available out of the box in Windows.

As such there is no guarantee that even after burning, songs will be playable in car because it entirely depends on the car’s stereo system. Make assure that it is capable to play mp3 or WMA files. In case it is not then you will have to burn in WAV format.

As you have asked about steps to burn song via imgburn, so here is the process:

  • To burn music files you first need to create a CUE file.
  • Now switch the right mode by clicking “write” option available at “mode manue.”
  • Click the Create CUE file option. [you will find a ‘Create CD CUE file’ dialog box]
  • Here click on brows option depicted as a folder icon at right upper corner. It will let you to select the songs files you want to burn on CD.
  • Once you have done selection click OK and you will be prompted to save new CUE file.
  • Now finally click on save button.
