How do you burn a cd?

I want to burn mp3 songs to a cd using windows media player.This is what I do.I have Vista and I use windows media players amd I want to burn my limewire music to a cd. So first I drag the songs from my limewire library to the music section on my pc so that it can show up in my windows media player. Next I burn the music to a cd but when im finished and try to play the cd in a cd player I cant hear anything or it just sounds real Screechy and messed up. What am I doing wrong?

You may be trying to play data files (mp3) in an ordinary CD player and that won't work
In order for your music to play in a player that doesn't have the mp3 option you first have to convert the mp3 files into ordinary .CDA files which is the format used on ordinary CD's. Have you tried playing the CD in your computer using Windows Media player? If it works there and not on a CD player it probably means you have burned mp3 files onto the CD and those will definitely not work in an ordinary CD player. I hope this clears things up a bit for you.

Why did you post the same question on two different forums?
Surely you didn't think that duplicating your posts would get you more attention.
