Subject:.wav to .cda ?

Thank-you K,

However, you may have misunderstood the question I posed.
I want to
convert my song from a mixed wav to a .cda file. If I
simply use
Nero or Easy CD -Creator to copy the wav file to a cd, the
burned CD
still contains .wav files. I want to be able to play my
music from a
regular audio cd-player ( ie: car or home stereo) , not
through a
computer CD-Rom player.
I went back through the previous posts on your site and
read
somewhere that ACID version 2.0 contains some kind of
automatic
burning feature but does it convert the mixed wav files
to .cda files?
If it does I'll just upgrade. If not... I don't know what
to do.
There has to be a way.

All audio CD's contain .wav files. The file type displayed by Windows
is .cda which stands for CD Audio. But this is misleading,
because .cda is NOT a real file type.

I guarantee if you burn your .wav's to CD you will be able to play
them in your car or portable CD player. Just be sure you are burning
an AUDIO CD and not a DATA CD and that you are burning all the tracks
at once (DAO = disc at once). I do it all the time, although I never
put a disc back into the CD Rom to see if says the .wav's are .cda's
or not. I'll have to check that out.

Thank-you.
I didn't use the disk at once option when i tried it before, i gues
that was the problem. You've been a big help

I have NERO to burn CDs. I followed your instructions to
save the Acid file as a multiple Wave File .WAV then burn
all tracks to the CD. The file shows up in explorer as
a .CDA and plays just fine on my CDROM but is not
recognized by my home stereo or my recording studio CD
equipment. I have a project for the United Way that I
composed an Acid loop for and need to distibute it to the
video team on CD. HELP! I have got to get the song of my
computer into some other portable media.

Thanks.
