.wma is very small but i'm not sure most cd players support it. maybe mp3 cd players but i doubt regular cd players.

when you use certain programs to burn cds they wont allow .wma files

like nero

but since i use the windows media player to burn cds now

it lets you use wma's

Regular CD players don't accept any format other than .wav. The reason for this is that the .wav format is basically the digital copy of the analogue waveform signal of the file. That's why the amount of time you have left on a CD is imperative for audio CDs.

However, many CD copying software are now including conversions into their programs to save the hassle of changing whatever format you have into wavs manually. Some programs have the ability to convert certain files while others can't. If you can't burn a file type onto an audio CD, then just convert it to wav first, and then burn it.

MP3 CD players are different in that it isn't lazy like a regular CD player. An MP3 CD player has a decoder built into it to decode whatever file type the manufacture specifies it to play. This makes it possible for files to remain their certain format, and furthermore, put more songs onto a CD. The downside of this is that it takes longer to read because of the time it takes to decode the encoded signal, and it drains batteries faster than a regular CD player....

hmm i think i said to much -_-;
