Clearly this is not easy.

Wikipedia states.....

"WAV is a data file format for a computer to use that can't be understood by CD players directly. To record WAV files to an Audio CD the file headers must be stripped and the remaining PCM data written directly to the disc as individual tracks with zero-padding added to match the CD's sector size."

Ok, wow. Anyone got the goods on how to actually do this??????
 
You don't need to know the technicalities. Insert a blank CD into your tower or laptop. Transfer the Wav file to whatever media program you have---windows media, i tunes, whatever. Drag the file to the burn list and push the "burn" button. That's it.
 
Every CD burning software made in the last 15 years can burn WAV's.
 
For clarification to the OP, Wikipedia is saying if you burn the waves directly to the CD as the wave files they wont work, which is true. You need a media software that burns it into the "CD format" and as others said, just about every free media software can do it.
 
my problem was that I exported the audio at 24 bit out of my software.

That is why it wouldn't burn. I re-exported at 16 bit, and I have burned it, which sadly sounds much worse.

thx

It sounds worse because of the 24bit to 16bit conversion?

It's generally recommended that you dither down to 16 bit as opposed to
straight conversion, but i must confess and say that I can't tell the difference
between 16-bit, 24-bit, dither or no dither. I think the problem lies somewhere
else.
