To make a "proper" CD you will need to export WAV files (at 44.1kHz stereo 16-bit PCM - the Red Book standard for CDs).
It is possible to make a CD with MP3s but you will need computer of special CD player to play them.
You need MP3s (or sililar) if you want compressed music files for a portable music player - and yes you need LAME if you want to export MP3s.

when burning a CD from MP3s, the burning application coverts them to wav files first... so yeah, wav is the way to go.

Yes maybe - but why on earth would you want tgo go to a compressed format (MP3 ) first and then reflate to WAVs for burning to CD??n0ctis wrote:when burning a CD from MP3s, the burning application coverts them to wav files first... so yeah, wav is the way to go.
It's like taken chicken soup, dehydrating it to powder and then adding water to make "chicken soup" - similar to but in no way the real thing ........

You wouldn't. That's why a wav file is the way to go. MP3 is just a compression format for waveform files. It'd be best to skip the stripping lossy compression does and stick with uncompressed audio.
