Jim,

It depends if you want to listen to your creation on a CD player or not.

You can copy any file that exists on your computer to a CD, but then it is
just a data file.

if you save wav files, you will have them for
easy maniupulation (and listening) through your computer, of high quality.
Each CD will hold about an hour's worth.

if you save the wav files as mp3 files, you will have them for listening on
the computer and one of those mp3 players, but quality will suffer. However,
you can fit many many more on your CD.

if you make an audio CD, basically it will contain the wav files with
special encoding to make a CD player accept it. You can still re-copy them
as wav files to your computer, but it takes a special program (which you
probably have if you have a recordable CD-R drive). So, each CD will hold
about an hour's worth, and quality is the same as the wav file.
