I want to burn my boyfriend a CD. All the songs are in MP3 and WAV. I burned it, but it didn't work on his CD player or XBOX. Apparently it doesn't read those files. It only works on his computer. So, what is a preferably free program to change these files to work on a CD player?
Additional info, added Wednesday April 11 2007, 2:22 pm: Oh, and Please don't tell me to actually buy the CD. I payed for all the songs via iTunes or other sorce. .

P.S. you don't need different file types your mp3s are fine you just have to change the type of disc your burning before the burn process. [ jesa21's advice column | Ask jesa21 A Question ]

make sure though that you are using a cd-r (cd recordable), that would make it not work.
If your cds are really old that could be a factor too.
If none of that helps try this;
go into itunes
make a playlist
then hit crtl+a and highlight all the songs
after that go up to the top click on advanced > convert to mp3
then hit burn cd and it should work
