EDIT: I stupidly exported at 32 bits instead of 16.  This is why you should not take pills, boys and girls.
 
I don't know how many hundreds of songs I have put on CDs, but today, after I export a project to a WAV as always (44.1K), when I try to drag it to Windows Media Player of Nero I get a message that one or more files are corrupt.
 
They play fine on my computer and look right.  Am I missing something obvious?
 
Thanks.
 
PS The two files are a three minute song, one version with vocals and one without.  I havew tried burning them one at a time and still get the error message.

For 32-Bit files you have to insert 32-bit-cds into your drive.
Then NERO will burn it.

konradh . . . yup, I've also had this happen, in windows media player it's sometimes hard to distinguish if a wav file is actually 16bit or 32 bit . . . hence an audio cd will not burn if 32 bit files exist in the playlist. If I have left Ozone 7 open (containing A 32 bit file) while trying to burn a windows media player cd, it's a no go.
 
I thought I was the only one actually using windows media player (12) to burn my cd's ? . . . and since this is a NEVER MIND thread anyways, I'm wondering if you have the windows media player options set the same way as me.
Specifically, I found out today there is a burning option "Apply volume leveling across tracks" which I have always had checked. When I uncheck this option, of course the cd sounds better, and closer to my mastering settings. I think this is a Microsoft algorithm default that is counter productive to what my mastering software does.

Ecurb, I just use Media Player because it pops up when I insert a blank CD and I don't really burn that many.  But based on the comments, I will examine the settings. Thanks.
 
Thomas, Good to know about Nero.  Appreciate it.
 
FYI, I write a lot of different kinds of music, but some of the music I write is used in church services.  It just put the tracks on CDs to pass them off to the users who sometimes compile CDs for a service or event, or sometimes copy the tracks to some other type of playlist.  It's just faster for me if the person is local.
