An Audio CD doesn't contain RIFF/WAV files, but PCM samples in a specific format. Hence it needs a decoder for audio input files when creating an Audio CD. If you create an Audio CD from MP3 files, they are converted to PCM when writing the CD. If you want to keep the MP3 format, you can only create a _Data CD_ that contains the MP3 files. Various CD players can handle such MP3-CDs, but they are rejected by any "standard cd player" that only supports Audio CDs. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
