I want to create an audio CD that can be played on PCs and domestic CD
players, and containing tracks from other audio CDs. I have already ripped
the tracks from the other CDs as .wav files and have saved them on my hard
drive.

I understand that many domestic CD players don't "like" CD-RWs and that
CD-Rs are best to ensure that most, if not all, PCs and domestic CD players
can play them.

What I am not clear about is
1. should the CD-R be formatted before burning the .wav files to it?
2. if so, should it be formatted as UDF1.50, UDF2.0 or UDF2.01?

Any assistance would be most welcome.

You have not indicated what software you have available, but burning CD
audio discs is straightforward.

1. You DO NOT format the disc first.
2. CDR discs are far more likely to play on your domestic CD player, but
CDRW discs should play on the PC or on a DVD player. If you experiment on an
unformatted or erased CDRW disc, you will not waste any CDR discs while you
get the hang of the techniques.
3. Most software packages can create audio discs. It is simply a question of
dragging the required tracks to the assembly window then burn as audio.

CD-Rs don't need formatting. However, be sure to finalize the CD-R after
burning the last track. If not finalized, it won't play in a regular music
CD player.

Hope this helps.

A slightly different problem for me - I'm using Music Maker to record and

mix my daughter playing the violin - she wants to 'produce' CDs for frinds
etc. The files can be output as either .wav or mp3 format.
I burned a .wav file onto a CD-R using Adaptec Easy CD creator, and the
resulting CD worked fine in my CD player.
I took that copy to dear old Gran, but it refused to work in her (less
expensive) CD player.

So what's going on - any idea folks?

Thanks

CD Audio discs provide marginal readability on domestic CD players. Some
will handle them others won't. Ensure that you give them the best chance of
doing so by burning well matched media at the optimum speed for the writer
and disc. This almost invariably does not mean passing any old disc through
as fast as the writer can burn it.

Thanks Graham - does that mean that 'the slower the better' then? I'm not

sure what you mean by "well matched media" excuse my ignorance - could you
explain

No I don't mean the slower the better.

By well matched, I mean use a disc from the list recommended by the
manufacturer of the writer as suitable for use with that writer and not some
cheap disc from the supermarket. Each type of disc will have an optimum
write speed with a particular writer. That speed is usually somewhere in the
middle of the rated speed range of the disc in question.

An audio CD does not need to be formatted. UDF is generally
used for packet writing data to CD-RW's.
