Thanks - I assumed cd players could read the wav format because they still appear as wav files when listed on the cd - but I accept what you say.
On the other issue, I can not burn in Linux using any program to date - Rhythmbox, Serpentine, Banshee or k3b. Perhaps more correctly, and this has only just come to my memory by reading my notes from Edgy days to date, I can sometimes burn one on one machine but then all fail - unless I reboot. But in wine, using Imgburn, I have yet to have a failure, whether DVD or CD. I would rather do it without wine, however good imgburn is. I have two dedicated ubuntu machines and one with dual boot. The drives are BENQ, MSI and LG.
