how to burn music onto a CD to play in my car?

I have some music files(.wav). I'd like to burn that onto a CD. I have downloaded the "imgburn" software. I am having trouble figuring out the next steps. Does anybody know the exact steps? There are just so many options to choose from. I want to burn those wav files onto an AUdio CD that can play in my car's CD player.Can I burn those Wav files on a simple CD_R or do I have to have a different kind of disk?

"Whether your car CD player will play them depends on the player. The stock Bose stereo in my 12 year old car plays burned CDs, but I've had modern rental cars whose CD players would not play them. But it won't be too hard to burn a CD and find out.

A simple CD-R is fine.

I don't think Imgburn can create audio CDs. I think it can only create data CDs, unless it's burning from an .iso image (which you don't have). Try CDBurnerXP, mentioned in this question.

John T.'s suggestion to use the built-in Windows software is also a good one."
