Did you close the CD ? Its a burning option, I dont mean the CD draw.
 Does it show up with the 3 track and wont play them ?

Need to make sure you are burning an AUDIO cd and not a DATA CD.  Which program are you using?

You shouldnt need to convert it first.  WMA wont play from a CD.  
 The program will convert it to a raw audio file for you and burn it to CD. When you put the finished CD in the PC you shouldnt see any files on it, they are hidden and encoded so that only CD players can read it.
 
 Make sure you are making an AUDIO CD and dont convert any files first.

You just load up CDburnerXP, create new AUDIO CD, drag the mp3s into the playlist, press burn and it does the rest.  You dont need to convert anything, it will do it for you.
 WMA is Windows failed audio format and it sounds terrible.
