Into what format do I convert the music files before I burn them onto a CD in order for them to be in the same format as an original CD I would buy in a store

pcm
If I convert the files into PCM will they be able to play in a regular CD player if I burn them in that format as well?
For some reason I checked some burned cd's to double check what they would say for an extension. They say cda even though they were burned as pcm files converted from original wav files, and one disc was a direct copy of a commercial cd. I copied this description from Wikipedia on pcm.
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital representation of an analog signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, then quantized to a series of symbols in a digital (usually binary) code. PCM has been used in digital telephone systems and is also the standard form for digital audio in computers and the compact disc red book format. It is also standard in digital video, for example, using ITU-R BT.601. However, straight PCM is not typically used for video in standard definition consumer applications such as DVD or DVR because the bit rate required is far too high. Very frequently, PCM encoding facilitates digital transmission from one point to another (within a given system, or geographically) in serial form.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.
You're welcome. As far as time, this is what I do instead of playing video games, so it's no problem.
