How can I create an audio disk w/ audio from WAV?

[Muse]

I want to give a friend an audio CD that contains the audio I have recorded in a WAV file. Actually, there's more to this because he has to be able to access it remotely, since I won't be seeing him soon. He gave me his email address. Yes I could send him the CD, but he requested I work this out through email. He said he has a computer savvy friend who will help him to burn the CD. He said he doesn't have an MP3 player, would prefer an audio CD. I can upload a file for download. This thing is going to be pretty big because it's about 1.5 hours of audio recorded in standard 16 bit 44.1 khz PCM to .WAV. I haven't check it out yet but I think the WAV file has to be around 500MB.

Explanations of what I have to do here, suggestions appreciated.

That won't work. You're limited to ~70 minutes of audio for an audio CD. You'll have to split the file into 2 CDs, then use an application(I like Infrarecorder) to burn to disc as an audio disc.

If you want it to be something he could easily burn on his own computer, you could use a free program like imgburn to turn the wav file into a burnable iso (or two, depending on length). You could then simply e-mail him a link to imgburn's website along with a short set of instructions on how to burn the iso(s) onto a disk with imgburn.

Edit: Now I'm wondering if imgburn could even convert the wav into audio CD format. Can't remember if it's capable of that or not. You could probably use windows media center to turn the wav file into something imgburn can use though.

Upload the whole thing to dropbox and let his friend figure it out.

Just save it as an mp3. Then use Splice to chop it in half. Then email the two mp3s, or put them in a drop box. Anyone with a pc and a burner can burn the mp3's into an audio cd format using windows media player.

That, if it works, may be the simplest and easiest method. I'll test it on my end first. That would play in any CD player?

Yes. If you do not want the loss in quality, you could use FLAC instead of MP3. I don't think Windows Media Player can eat FLAC out of the box though, but I believe ImgBurn can.
