... and what I got was a disc with fewer tracks, but it plays in a regular CD player!

So-- MP3 data disc for backup archives on fewer discs, but music discs (assume they're now .cda's) for the everyday playback copies.

Yeehahhh!

..... so I assume I will get better sound if I have .wavs to start with and leave them as wav's till the music CD is made? Then convert to MP3 to make for better longterm storage?
