burn a wav file

I have an old tape recording which I recently converted to a 49MB .wav
file. I also have it in the form of a 1.4MB .mp3. Both sound OK when
played (via the line-out socket to my hi-fi)

Although I can burn the mp3 to a CD and play it OK, the CD wav file
sounds 'jerky', whether recorded as an 'audio' or 'data' file at
various write speeds on different quality CDs using either XP, Real or
Nero software to do the burning.

Is this a hardware or software error and how do I copy the wav to a CD
to send to a librarian?

I'm thinking that the WAV file isn't in standard audio format, and that
Nero and your CD burning programs are trying (not very successfully) to
convert them on the fly as they burn. The file needs to be 16-bit, 44.1
kHz stereo uncompressed PCM. If it's not, convert it before burning so
Nero doesn't have to.

Thanks - iis properties a PCM; 16-bit; stereo; 44 kHz; 1411 kbps

does the wav file burned as an audio cd sound ok when played from a
regular audio cd player? if so, it is just a buffering issue from
using the computer data cd drive as an audio cd player. if it also
sounds jerky from the audio cd player, then there may be transcoding
issues - make sure to convert to 16 bit, pcm, stereo; then try burning
this new wav file to audio cd format.

I replied an hour ago but it might have got lost!
None of my audio CD players can interpret the host CD and when I tried
to make an audio CD with the WAV it got converted to a cda file!

That is normal. That's what's supposed to happen. "CDA" means "CD
Audio"

yes - but I was asked to tel you if the wav file was playable on an
audio cd machine rather than via the computer cd drive - so how do I
set that up?

I'm guessing you are burning as "track at once"


try burning as "disc at once"
