How to Burn MP3 and WAV on an Audio CD in Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player allows you to burn two types of CDs: audio and data. Unlike a data CD, an audio CD is intended to be played on CD players. You can burn any type of audio file, including MP3 and WAV, to an audio CD. Music, podcasts and audiobooks are some of the content you can burn to audio CDs.

Things You'll Need

• Blank CD

Instructions

1. Open Windows Media Player. Insert a blank CD into your computer's disc drive.

2. Click the arrow on the bottom of the "Burn" button and click "Audio CD."

3. Drag and drop the MP3 and WAV files you want on the CD into the "List" window below the Burn button. You can bring in files from the Windows Media Player library by clicking the "Library" button, right-clicking the files you want on the CD and clicking "Add to List." The order in which they are listed will be the order they are placed on the CD. Manually reposition files by dragging and dropping them into place or right-clicking the files you want to move and clicking "Move Up" or "Move Down."

4. Click the "Start Burn" button. Each file will be burned one at a time.
