If you use a microphone or record from an external source like a turntable or cassette via an amplifier the likely format will be .WAV

This file will be massive compared to .CDA which is what goes onto CD's or the even more compressed .MP3 or .WMA

Programs like Nero will convert .WAV to .CDA when buring a normal CD (circa 20 tracks).

To convert to .MP3 for example you need to use Windows Media Player or the standalone CDex program.
