All Methods to Burn APE to CD
Have any APE files you want to burn to a CD? Well, then you’re in for luck. Today, we’re going to be introducing you to three different methods of converting APE to CD. As you are no doubt already familiar, APE files are not as regularly used as other file extensions. Because of that, it’s difficult to find programs that it would be compatible with — unfortunate, if only because producing APE audio is a good way of ensuring no quality loss - even with repeated data compression. In any case, let’s continue on with our APE to CD demonstrations.
Part 1. Burn APE to CD with Best Way
Starting us off is the Wondershare DVD Creator. It is, unlike the other two programs on our list, is a program created specifically for creating DVDs and CDs. That, in itself, proves its superiority over the others, making it the best way to burn APE to CD — be it on a Mac or Windows computer. Of course, the Wondershare DVD Creator offers a lot more than just the APE to CD conversion that we’re going to demonstrate today. You can discover more of these features by checking out the FREE version of the program, but some of these key features include:
Wondershare DVD Creator
- ● Easy One-Click DVD Burn for creating quick DVDs
- ● Intuitive design created for maximum efficiency and beginner-friendliness
- ● Built-in Video Editor that can be used to edit and process uploaded media
- ● Smart Slideshow Creator for creating simple projects

Hwo to Burn APE to CD with Wondershare DVD Creator
Step One: Select CD Burner Option
The first thing you have to do is launch the Wondershare DVD Creator. Doing so should lead you to the following window (as shown in the image below.) You can choose what kind of disc you want to create from here. Of course, for our purpose — burn APE to CD, we’ve chosen the CD Burner option. Do so as well before moving onto the next step.
Step Two: Add APE Files to Burn to CD
Next, you need to add your APE files into the program. This step is pretty intuitive, and you won’t have to convert your APE files either — as the Wondershare DVD Creator accepts all sorts of file extensions.
- ● Add your APE audio by dragging and then dropping it onto the screen.
- ● You can also manually browse your computer for said APE files by selecting the “+”/“Add pictures or videos or audios” option.
Step Three: Organize and Start Burning
When you add all audio files into the program, you can organize the files by dragging the files to the place you want. After that, click the Burn button at the lower right bottom to start burning APE to CD.
Part 2. How to Burn APE to CD with Windows Media Player
The next program that we’re going to be using to burn APE to CD is the Windows Media Player. This will be a bit tricky. For one, you can’t just drag and drop APE audio onto your Windows Media Player — the two programs are not compatible. As such, if you want to be able to use Windows Media Player for your APE audio, you’re going to have to go through the trouble of installing the Monkey’s Audio Software. In doing so, you will then be able to follow along with our demonstration, but only then.
How to Burn APE to CD with Windows Media Player
Step One: Burn
Once you have the Money’s Audio Software installed onto your computer, then you should be able to drag and drop APE files onto your Windows Media Player successfully. Do so, and then click the “Burn” button on the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Step Two: Burn List
The next step in the process is to create something called a burn list. Pressing the “Burn” button should have opened up a side-toolbar (as shown in the image below.) There, you can drag and drop audio to create your very own burn list. This burn list is ultimately what will end up being permanently copied onto your disc, so make sure that you add only audio that you want to burn.
Step Three: Start Burn
Finally, once your burn list is set up as you want it to be. It’s time to initiate the copy process. Do this by clicking the “Start Burn” option at the top right-hand corner of the side-toolbar.
Note: This option will not be available to you if a blank disc is not inserted into your computer’s DVD driver (or into a DVD/CD burner connected to your computer.)
Part 3. How to Burn APE to CD with iTunes
Much like with the Windows Media Player, learning how to burn APE to CD with iTunes is not as easy as it might appear. For one, iTunes cannot read or process APE files. That is true whether or not you have the Monkey’s Audio Software installed or not. Because of this, it is necessary for you to convert your APE to a file extension that is read-able to iTunes. For that, we recommend the ALAC (iTunes own lossless audio format.)
How to Burn APE to CD with iTunes
Step One: Create a Playlist for your APE audio
Once you have converted your APE audio to ALAC, you can drag and drop the files onto the iTunes library. This is important, as you will have to create a playlist for your audio before you can burn it onto a CD. Create a playlist by selecting audio, right-clicking, and selecting the following options: Add to Playlist > New Playlist.
Step Two: Burn APE Playlist to Disc
Once you have your APE Playlist in order, all you have to do next is: Select the following options: File tab > Burn Playlist to Disc.
Step Three: Burn Settings
The Burn Settings window should appear onto your screen. On here, there are several things that you can adjust as needed.
- ● Preferred Speed: Choose a speed that works for you — note that higher speeds might result in the loss of quality.
- ● Disc Format: Select the Audio CD format.
Once you’re satisfied with your choices, click “Burn” button to initiate the APE to CD conversion.
Conclusion:
That concludes all the ways you can burn APE to CD. For the most part, these solutions were simple. Especially the Wondershare DVD Creator method — you won’t have to install anything extra or convert your APE files in order to burn it onto a CD. For that reason, and a handful of other benefits that you won’t get with the other programs, we would recommend trying out that method first and foremost. If only to experience just how APE to CD conversion can be.
