How do I Turn an MP3 to Regular Music in order to Burn?

MP3 files are a different format from the audio files used on audio CDs. Most CD players and home stereo systems cannot play a CD with MP3 files on it. The user needs to convert the MP3 files into an audio CD format file to create an actual audio CD. Windows Media Player allows users to convert MP3 files to audio CD files as part of the burning process. This will occur automatically if the program is properly setup.
