Can't burn to CD...

[smooveness1]

I have the turntable w/USB connection that has provided the Audacity software disk to set up recordings of vinyl to PC (vista).
I've done all the directions and recorded 5 LP's successfully but having MAJOR issue of now trying to transfer tracks to burn on cd!!!
I've saved the tracks using the 'save project and exported them.' I have all 4 tracks listed as wav; aup; data, etc...
Getting nothing at all!!!! Been at this for quite a few hours now and extremely frustrated and I need someone to walk me thru this if I have indeed done it wrong.... Help is deeply appreciated!!!!

've saved the tracks using the 'save project and exported them.'

Did it actually say that in those words? I'm curious because that's misleading. Somebody wrote that who's never used Audacity. Can you quote the exact instructions? Don't interpret them, just read them.

Audacity will not Save a sound file. You have multiple Audacity Projects there, but no other program will ever know what you did or open them. Save and Export are two completely different steps.

File > Export > WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit PCM

Each one of those exports is a stand-alone sound file and should drop right into Windows Media and from there, Author and Burn a Music CD. The music on a CD is not normal, so you can't just copy music over to it. You have to Author the CD and then go through a special Burn process.

No music CD will ever contain over 78 minutes of show and compressing the music ahead of time doesn't help like it does on a hard drive. It just makes the 78 minutes sound bad.
