Audacity Forum

Man I did not expect so much help. I am recording live speakers from mic. I was reading that I need to record these speaker recordings at a Sample rate of 44100 Hz and a sample format of 16-bits. Is this very important, or could this have anything to do with some of my recorded cds not playing in so...

Thanks for the information.

I am having a small problem with some of my cd's I record with audacity. They do not play on every cd player. It seems that the older the cd player it is the less of a chance it will play. Does it have to be a .cda file or will a .wav be ok?
