Song format for CDs

[Tjomme]

For a funeral I need to place songs on a CD, but I do not know what to use; .mp3, .wav or something else?

I tend to use WAV when possible because I don't have capacity restraints, but FLAC is also an option people use a fair bit, which is compressed but lossless, so quality will remain the same between WAV and FLAC.

Do you mean you're going to burn them onto a CD or are you going to store them as files on a CD?

Burn

FYI, it's still burning either way.

Damn you and your Godly corrections, you Gamer 23.

Your program will convert it to .cda anyway when you create an audio cd. I'd rather convert it from .wav then from .mp3, though, it tends to cause less problems and gives you better quality.

Your burning software should do the conversion anyway.

MP3, WAV, FLAC it shouldn't matter.

If it's a "regular" CD, then any format should work, since it'll be converted to .cda by your burning software anyways. Easiest way to do this that comes with every PC is just use the built-in burn function in Windows Media Player.
