When I copy a song with Nero 7 and save it on my documents it shows: Windows Audio BR:1411 kbps and when I rip a song with windows media player it shows: Windows Media Audio file BR:192 kbps.
1- What is the difference: 1411kbps and 192kbps.
2- What is the Difference: Nero Windows Audio and WMP Windows Media
Audio file.
3- Which of the two is best to burn a CD-R that can be played in all cd players.

Thanks for your help and have a very nice day.

The difference between the two is that the Windows Audio file is a .wav file that is the computer version of a CD track. It is uncompressed in the sense that it still has the 44kHz sampling of the music in 16-bit form. Transferring that file back to a CD-R will have no perceptible loss of audio quality from that of the original CD track.

The 192kbps Windows Media version is a compressed version similar or equal to the MP3 format. Although that rate is considered to be higher quality than the more common 128kbps compression rate used for MP3 files, there will still be a loss of audio quality. It will be difficult to hear; but with some practice or with just the right kind of audio information, you may be able to hear the difference. The bigger problem is that few CD players will be able to play that kind of file. You would have to convert it back to a CD audio file format for the CD-R recording that all CD players will recognize.

Which format is better for your intent? The Nero 7 version because there is no real loss of quality, it's faster because there is no MP3 compression/encoding, and because converting it back to a digital audio format for a CD-R means the quality will be identical. The other version reduces quality, takes longer, and makes files that most CD players do not recognize.
