I have no clue whatsoever about burning audio to CD... alright, I know how to do it, but there a few simple(minded) questions I have, and I just don't know where to get straight answers. So I'll plague y'all with them.
I will preface my questions by saying I'm not talking about mp3s here... anything I get on mp3 stays in mp3 no matter what I do with it. It's a matter of principle - I just don't like that format. So here goes....
1) What brand/type of CD is best for burning audio onto? There are so many different brands/types, I just don't know where to start... which leads me to my next question...
2) What effect, if any, does a type/brand of CD burner have on overall quality of the end product? Maybe not just CD burner, but how about the computer itself? What configuration (hardware and/or software) is going to put out the best result? What is to be avoided? Does any of it really matter?
3) What CD burning program works best (as far as end-product quality/playability is concerned)?
4) What file format is best to burn to CD? In other words, if I'm not doing a disc-copy (I've got a few things I've "cleaned up", but now they're in .WAV format on my computer), how do I get that file format to a CD so that it plays right no matter what kind of CD player may be used?
Thanks for looking anyways...
