I have tried to copy (burn) an audio. I've worked out how to rip and burn
(Windows Media Player) and the computer CD player will play the burned CD OK
but it wont play on my hi-fi.

Why is this please?

Regards.

When one "rips" tracks from another CD, the resulting track is saved
as a computer file, possibly in Windows PCM *.wav format. When copied
to a CD-R(W) as a *.wav file, the Hi-Fi CD player cannot read it. The
*.wav file needs to be converted back to PCM 44.1 KHz stereo, and this
is identified by the *.cda extension.

Convert .wav to .cda format:

Regrettably, not all Hi-Fi CD players will play CD-R(W) or burned
discs. One has to test and determine which ones will work or will
not. Of course, if the CD player will not play a pressed (i.e., a
commercial audio CD), then all bets are off. Need to do some cleaning
or replace if that fails.

Not quite correct. CD audio is not stored on the CD in files as such. It
is just stored as a PCM data stream. Windows merely interprets the data
stream and displays it as files with a .cda extension.

I would suggest that the OP's disc has not been finalised. Unfinalised
discs will play on a PC drive, but not on an audio CD player (except those
from Marantz for some reason).

Thanks.

So how do you finalise a disk please?

This should be an option on whatever burning package you are using. Hove a
look in the screen that usually pops up when you select burn. It may give
an option to 'finalise' the disc or even 'close' or may even be more
enigmatic by offering a check box to make the disc read only.
