Jonesy,
It's not the program that makes them playable in a CD player, it's the CD you burn it on. I'd recommend Memorex or Sony CDs, they play in anything. Memorex are much cheaper. I'd also recommend Roxio for burning music CDs over Nero simply because (if you pay the $100 for the Platinum version of find other means of obtaining the program

) you can cross fade the tracks, CD text, etc. and do many other things....I did have a program that cropped songs and a DJ thing where you could do scratches and stuff, mix songs together, but I lost it a while ago.
Anyways, try to find Roxio. It burns *.wma's with no problem, although I do recommend MP3s over *.wma's simply because of the tags, so you may want to convert the files with Pavel's link.
Sounds like a sweet setup
Well, when you living with a computer science major, a mechanical engineering major, and a computer animation major, you tend to have lots of sweet stuff, as they tend to enjoy technology. I'm also buying a new home entertainment system this summer.
