I have not done any other tests guys because I don't want to trash another CD but I *THINK* windows media player won't create the proper audio CD file and extension unless you start with a .wav, and that audio CD file format is what you apparently need if you want to play it on everything.

That is what I surmised after my last search, so I tried it and it worked.

I can't remember what I did 10 years ago but I must have used .wavs.
