I have an audio recording done with Sound Forge 7.0 and saved it in SOund Forge Project File. I have burned the CD, but I can't play it on a regular CD player? What need to be done? :)

You burned the data file to a cd, most likely. You have to save it as a .wav file first, and burn that to cd.
 
Still can't on CD player

I have tried saving my audio recording in both Scott Studos Wave and Wave (Microsoft). But it still cannot be played on CD player.
 
More details needed!
1)Is the final wav file 16-bit/44.1khz?
2)What program are you using to burn the file to CD?
3)Make sure you select Audio CD and not Data CD.
4)Have you tried another CD player? Some older CD players (and First Generation DVD players) have trouble playing burned CDs
 
The source is 44.1khz/24bit and I burned it using Sound Forge's Burn Track-at-Once Audio CD.
 
I don't think most CD players play .wav. Just right click the actual file. Then send to/D:CD-RW (im assuming its D) and then write these files to cd. The wizard pops up. Make standard music CD. It also depends on what media you used. CD-R, CD-RW etc. ALot of older players don't except CD-RW's.

What the others have said. Also, you will need to dither the file down to 16-bit/44.1 (from 24-bit). That is the maximum bit-depth that any CD player can play back.
 
mmm, that answers some of the ?s. When you place the wav file into the list of files to be burned, does an error pop-up saying the file needs to be 16-bit? It must just be truncating down to 16-bit (read up on dithering to get better results for going from 24 to 16) without telling you.

What CD players have you tried it on? Are you finalizing the disc? Are you using CD-Rs or CD/RWs?

I think that is the problem, the exact same thing happened to me when I tried a "Direct Burn" from the same program. I would use another burning program.

Use a different program and make sure the file is 16 bit, 44.1khz.
 
Do disc at once, not track. If the session is not closed, some home cd players don't recognize the disc.
 
Since my CD can only be played on the computer using RealPlayer, Window Media Player and iTunes, what is the correct way of stating it on the CD sleeve. Is it "This CD can only be played in RealPlayer, Window Media Player and iTunes format"

It can be played on normal cd players if you finalize the session and close the cd. You should have those options in the program you burned it with. If not, you need to look at Nero or one of the other cd burner programs they have out there.

Roxio also has these options, I think you may need to open "advanced options" or "more options" in the window that opens just prior to burning....

Yeah, I've got Easy CD and DVD creator 6. Version 7 is supposedly better, but it's more for DVD than CD...

I've got the same program, I used to use 5.0 but got tired of the lack of options. 6.0 works well and I can finally edit the transitons between tracks....very cool.
 
how to say it

Since I would be sending my audio CD to various media, so what is the correct way of saying it. Is it "This CD can be played in RealPlayer, Windows Media Player or iTunes" or "This CD can be played using Real Player, WIndows Media Player or iTunes"?
Thank you.
