So you want a data CD of mp3's? That requires that you convert to mp3 first. ( Tools -> Converter... )
To burn an audio CD, just use the "Burn CD" tool.
Take care.

So I can't select a group of WMA files and burn them DIRECTLY to CD in MP3 format;
I MUST convert the files first, place these MP3 somwwhere, then, burn them?
If so, will this always be the case?

It's not super common for people to rip to WMA and then want MP3's on a data CD. And remember with lossy codecs like WMA and MP3, every extra encoding permanently discards more quality.
However, maybe you should put this on the Wish List and see what other people think.
Take care.

Just a thought...
Its true that not to many want to convert in the exact same way as Mark.
But consider this.
I want to bring some music to play at my computer at work.
Ok, i want to put as many songs as possible to the cd, but most of the songs i have on my harddrive is mp3 192kbps or better.
So I choose to convert the songs to wma at 64 or 96kbps which will work fine playing from the pc speaker or my cheap headset.
Now wouldnt it be great if it was possible to convert directly to a cd?
I see the same scenario for people with different handheld players - dont they want the same?

EXACTLY!!!
