I think an audio CD player actually uses the .wav format, although many are capable of playing differing formats, like .mp3 directly. It really depends on the manufacturer. As for commercial CD's, of course they're all digital, but again, I think the .wav format has been the standard for quite awhile.

Depends on the model of CD player... some can only play audio CDs and burned CDs with .wav files... others will have MP3 playback.

What format is best to play in a home stereo system?

Home stereos could have a CD or DVD player in them. Car stereos could have a CD player in them. The 'best' format depends upon what your expectations of quality or compatibility are. For the best quality and compatibility, use CD-audio discs, with RedBook audio format. For the longest playing time, use MP3 encoded CD discs or USB media. This will not be the best quality, but will give you considerably longer playing time (typically 10x the time). Some other compressed audio formats, such as APE and FLAC exist with lossless audio quality comparable to CD-audio, but are not supported on many home or car audio players.

How do you convert mp3 to normal CD format?

Hi, You can use any audio software to convert mp3 to .wav format or you can download free audio format converters through internet. I just want to make one thing clear that by converting mp3 back to CD format you are not going to improve the audio quality instead it will just increase your file size bcoz CD format (.wav) files are 1411 kbps. And if you are converting this just to make it play in a CD player which doesn't support mp3 then it's fine. Rgds, Brijith


You have downloaded music from LimeWire it only seems to load in mp3 format then when you burn the audio CD it wont play on a standard CD player why?

There are multiple possibilities, however the chief two reasons would be:1) You are using a CD player that does not recognize CD-R or CD-RW media; try the disc in another player.2) You are burning an "mp3 CD" and not an "Audio CD". Discs burned in mp3 (or data mode) are different than ones burned in Audio CD (Redbook mode). Audio CDs are the most widely playable format available, while it takes a special unit to play mp3 CDs.Please check with your burning software to ensure you are burning in the correct mode.
