How to Create WAV Music CDs
WAV music files are a standard for Windows Media formats. PC and Mac users can play WAV files using free iTunes software from Apple. iTunes allows its users to convert to and from a number of audio formats, including AIFF, MP3 and AAC. Creating WAV music CDs is a two-step process: iTunes needs to convert your music files to WAVs before you can burn them onto a CD from an audio playlist. Note that converting your music files to other formats can reduce audio quality.
