If I just write the wav file to a CD-R using "Send to CD-Writer" in XP will that be enough for the file to be played on an audio CD player?
(Is wav the data format that audio CDs use?)
Btw, I can't email the file because I need an actual CD for a funeral tomorrow.
ETA: I found this program
http://www.bestmidi2mp3.com/midi2cd.html and used it to convert the midi to wav and burn it to the audio cd. Worked great.
It should work if you send it as a .wav file and sometimes even if it comes out as a .cda file it usually works on current machines. To make double sure - seeing you ony have the one CD-R - perhaps save a couple of copies of it and burn both of them. Or - go back to the "archaic" technology of recording it onto an audio-cassette as well - this is what we do if we have any concerns about digital transfer.
