Music CDs

One of the key things to note is that it is important that you burn an Audio CD (Music CD) and not a Data CD. If you do burn a data CD you will find that it will play happily on your computer bust it is extremely unlikely that it will load of play in any of your CD players.

Audio CDs always contain high quality uncompressed PCM stereo data at 44 100 Hz sample rate, 16 bit resolution. So if you want to burn an audio CD, you should always export the file you want to burn as a 44 100 Hz 16 bit stereo WAV or AIFF file.
