We haven't had a Bigfella stupid question for a while.
I'm using Audacity to record me speaking.
What format do I export it in, if I want to put it onto a CD and be able to play on a CD player.
MP3? WAV? Or something else?
Thanking you in advance.
Recording Audio
MP3, 320
Most burners can read MP3's nower days.
MP3? I thought that was all IPods. Not CD players.
See what I know!

But not necessarily standalone players like in home theaters, cars, etc.
CDA files for cd players isn't it? It's forever since I burned a CD.
Have you got iTunes?
I exported as Wav & then imported into iTunes & then you can burn it to CD
You can burn practically any file type to a CD and it'll play anywhere. It's only if you burn MP3's as a data CD that you're limited where you can play them. Personally, I like a nice .FLAC file if I'm feeling flashy.

Only if your CD burning software automatically converts and re-samples the audio file to the proper (and very strict) audio CD format.

For decent quality you want to export as a WAV, not MP3 Bigfella. Depends what you're using it for.

When you use an audio CD creation program such as Nero, it accepts various sound formats and converts them to the format of an Audio CD, which is an uncompressed format roughly like a .WAV file.
So you might as well keep speech recordings as MP3 files to save space on your hard disk.

Thanks for all the views there. Interesting there is such a wide range of views! Not sure about the handbags to be fair.
On a similar point. Does anyone know where there is any free music to use as an intro? Or any good sites that a 10 second clip or so can be purchased from at a cost that doesn't break the bank. On the royalty music ones I've found, they sell a CD of about 20 tracks for silly money.
