Getting the CD to play on CD player

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

I am using the 2.0.3 version of your software.
I am on Windows 7 on my PC.
I successfully created the .aup file on my computer.
I burnt it to a .wav file CD and also to a mp3 file CD.
They both play on my computer. When I put it in my CD player neither one will play.
What format does it need to be in OR what am I possibly doing wrong?

The current version is 2.0.5. You can get it here: http://audacityteam.org/download/

To make a standard audio CD that will play on CD players:

  1. Export each “song” as separate WAV files
  2. In your CD burning program, select “audio CD” as the type of CD that you want to make.
  3. Load/import the WAV files that you want on the CD into the CD burning program. Each file will be a separate track on the CD.
  4. Arrange the tracks into the order that you want them and burn the CD.
