The traditional format for CDs is PCM which is just a high
resolution .wav which is supported by WMP. If properly burned as PCM,
nearly all older and newer stand alone CD players should play these.
Exceptions might be a very few, very early CD players and players that
have drifted off their standard settings. Only some relatively new
stand alone CD players will play mp3 and/or .wma files recorded on
them. For instance my car CD player, which is a bit over 2 years old,
will not play either mp3 or .wma CDs. The only thing I know to do is
either buy new stand alone CD players that can also support mp3 CDs or
re-burn CDs in the PCM format. If your songs are on CDs, rip them
as .wav on the WMP and burn as such. If you only have mp3 files, you
will have to convert them to .wav before burning to CD. This is not a
good idea unless you only have mp3 files to start with. The reason is
that PCM is an uncompressed format and mp3 is compressed, often highly
compressed. Thus the quality of the CD will not be as good as when you
start with an uncompressed format.
