Use WAV for burning, if unsure of your software. Maybe add this twist too...
Mike,
If you're burning to CD, save as a WAV file. The converting software will do the rest. It should also be able to make a normal CD from MP3 files - but - there is a Chance there might be a hiccup.
Use WAV files and you'll be fine.
The difference in quality between an MP3 and a WAV is not noticed by most people. But wave is universally recognized by CD Burning software. Which is why I say to use that format for burning an audio CD - if unsure, use wav format.
Something else to consider... many people now put audio onto MP3 players. So what you Could do is... make a Data/Audio CD - your burning software should have this as an option. And make the Data MP3 files.
This way, the buyers can play the CD in any normal CD player. And also copy the MP3 files into their MP3 Player - ipod or whatever brand they use. Sure, they can make their own MP3 from your CD, but when you also give it to them it adds a little perceived value.
