can't burn exported wav to CD

Hello - new Audacity user having trouble here…

1 - the blue ‘in’ on my computer looks like it has a speaker pic - that’s not a line in, is it? the mic in doesn’t work for cassette deck in, but that one doesn’t seem to work either…?

2 - went ahead and prepared a CD using Roland VS 1880, converted and wrote to CD, i think in cda; ripped it using Windows Media Player to wav; the opened it in Audacity, did some editing, then saved it as aup, exported it as wav, and exported it as mp3 (putting all of it in My Documents/My Music) - here are the two puzzles I can’t understand

  • I can’t now burn those wav versions to a CD - tried with WMA and Sonic Record - both say they’re not music media files; I can, however, burn the Audacity expored mp3 files to a CD, as wav (but that sort of defeats the purpose of having a loss less version for live performance)

  • Windows Media Player recognized the wav versions when it updated its library and added them, but it didn’t recognize the mp3 versions (though as I type this, i think that can’t be right, b/c how did I drag them from the library onto the burn list?..)

anyone out there who can help? much appreciated…
