Windows Media Player can burn CDs. Just click the "Burn" tab at the top (assuming you're using version 11, but all newer versions can burn CDs), drag and drop the WAV files into the list and click 'Burn'.

There's also a lot of other software out there, some free and some not. I use CD Architect. But Windows Media Player is fine too and doesn't require any other software.

Danny has it in one.
I use Nero - an earlier version that doesn't have conflict probs with everything else on my machine. MWP is fine - lot's of folk swear by it - I couldn't get the hang of it & after getting confused in the albums/library section when trying to tidy things up I ended up wiping a whole pile of audio files from some cakewalk projects so I steer clear of it.

I find that iTunes works the best. Its free to download, and yes it works on a pc.

after reviewing itunes i dont think its what im looking for. im still searching

I'm a big Nero fan... It is a pondersouly huge install unless you do the Custom and uncheck most of the crap you don't need; but the core app is great. They have a 30-day free trial, just hit download.com.

Just in case you are unaware, if you want an audio cd to play on a standard CD player, the wav files need to be 16-bit and 44.1.

all my stuff has not come in yet it will be a day or 2 before i can try anything. i am a complete nubie and much much to learn but you have to start somewhere lol. im just trying to learn what i can ahead of time. ive been looking at the almighty button SOFTWARE

seems that not many have ever heard of it. it seems like what im looking for. have any of you guys ever used it? there is a trial version and it sure is budget friendly on the purchase version, is it too good to be true? tell me what you think!

Looks like a simple audio editor with recording and CD burning. Lots of them out there for free.

Are you looking for something to record with also, or just burn CDs?

 

[hill topp]

i want to be able to burn the completed recording!

 

[danny.guitar]

Ok...

Then find something easy to use that burns CDs. Nero, Windows Media Player, and all the others mentioned in this thread.

There's a million free CD burner programs out there.
