I have two home-made audio CD's each with a dozen or so songs. Both of these CD's play just fine on my computer, and also play just fine on the CD player on my home stereo. And yet, when I try to copy songs from both CD's onto another CD, the songs from CD-1 will play, but the songs for CD-2 won't play. Upon closer examination in Explorer, the songs on CD-1 are file type "MP3 Format Sound" whereas the songs on CD-2 are file type "CD Audio Track." Again, both CD's play in my CD player. I want to make a third CD, with songs from both CD-1 and CD-2, but when I do this, the "CD Audio Track" songs don't play.

WTF? How can I copy these "CD Audio Track" songs so they are "MP3 Format Sound" files? Using the simplest of software, like Windows Explorer or something.
