The files must be AIFF before they can be burned as an audio CD (one that will play on a normal CD player). Luckily, iTunes and Toast will do this in the background so you don't need to explicitly convert to AIFF. Tell it to burn mp3's as an audio CD, and you automagically get the proper conversioni. Allan >> Allan, Another question for you. If you are making a copy of a CD using iTunes, for best quality should you import using MP3, AIFF or WAV? Does it matter?
