CD Player Formats FAQ

When making your own CDs, it is important to know that normal CD players in your stereo, car, or home theater system can only read WAV (.wav / WAVE) format unless otherwise specified. Therefore, if you burn an MP3, mp3PRO, WMA, or Real Audio format CD, a regular CD player cannot read it. Only players specified as MP3, mp3PRO, Real Audio and WMA compatible can play those formats.
