    Looking for a small simple program to convert some MP3's into Wav files so I can play disks in my old truck.

    Free would be nice.

    What are you trying to do? I doubt your truck has a device that only plays wave files.

    it is just a regular sony cd player. I thought regular cd files were called wav, maybe not. How do I turn MP3's into regular music files to play in most cd players?

    If you are not too picky, WMP, itunes or Media Monkey will burn audio CDs. Media Monkey is way better than the other two.

    No, wave files are very close but not the same. as CD files

    Meriam, just because you can does not make it a good move. I can buy a big hammer to smash my computer.

    You need to figure out if what you plan to do is sane. I was just looking at a thread where someone wanted to convert an ipod movie to blue ray. Everyone tried to talk some sense into the fool but that was impossible. They finally told him how to do it. The fuzzy picture will be worth a million words.

    Unless your source is lossless you will be degrading your music during ANY conversion. A well produced HiFi lossy format audio file can sound the same as a lossless file but because it is lossy it does not contain all the data. Some formats and bit rates do better than others. The low bit rate commercial formats do not convert well at all. It is much wiser to use a player that can play many formats then to convert (ruin) your music.

    There are a multitude of apps many of them free that use free online tag info data bases like freedb.
