burning CD

[yuhr]

I'd recorded some streaming audio and would like to burn a CD. I have a burner, even more than one.
What should I do? So far, I was unable even to find Audacity 1.2.6 audiofiles.
TIA,
Y

After you have recorded into Audacity, you need to "Export" the recording as a WAV file. You will then be able to make a CD from the exported audio file. Note that many CD writing programs will not accept 32bit WAV files, they must be 16bit.
See the "Tutorials" link at top of this page for more details.

Thank you, stevethefiddle. I am afraid that my CD player (actually, my wife's, I can use my PC) does not play WAV, it plays commercial and MP3 only.
But I'll take a look, anyway.

P. S. BTW, could you suggest any free alternatives? Audiograbber cannot record streaming audio. Are all commercial recorders OK or there are Pintos and Porsches?

I'm not saying to make a data CD with WAV files on it, I'm saying to make an audio CD. Most CD writing software has the options to create either a Data CD, or an Audio CD. Audio CD's are a different format. The CD burning software will convert WAV files into the necessary format to create a standard audio CD (as long as you have told the software to create an audio CD and not a data CD.

Some CD players will play MP3's from data CD's (but many will not).
Virtually all CD players will play audio CD's (though some can be a bitt fussy about the disk quality).
If the CD player will play MP3 disks, then it will almost certainly play audio CDR's

(Note that you should use good quality CDR disks. Do not use CDRW (rewritable) disks.
