I want to "rip" some audio (music) from a .mp4 video track and re-record it on a CD to play on a "conventional" portable CD player..... ( the modern "boom box" type).... what file format should I use for the re-recording?
Thanks
( as a point of interest..... from .mp4 files to burning the CD I can get 17 tracks on the CD..) (I suspect that I could get more, if the .mp4 files were smaller to start with... )

normally WMA, but will your BoomBox play MP3?, you will get more on the CD if it does

A standard CD has music recorded in .WAV format - but you only get about 8 tracks on a full CD.
