If you burn as a WAV as a DATA file, then only a CD installed in a PC -
with a media player - will be able to play it. This is likely _not_ your
intention, because the WAV won't play on a typical home hi-fi CD or car
player. Use your CD recording software to burn as an AUDIO FILE, if you
need that capability. This will convert the WAV to a CDA file, which can
be played on most any CD deck.

A WAV file is indeed an audio file - audio data that will not play on a
non-PC audio player. If a WAV is to remain in that file form, it should
be burned as DATA, not audio. Burning as AUDIO normally tells the utility
to covert the format to CDA.

Note that the definition you link states "Used primarily in PCs, the Wave
file format has been accepted as a viable interchange medium for other
*computer* platforms, such as Macintosh."

Try playing a WAV file on a standard CD player (not one in a PC). Unless
it's an unusual audio player, it won't render a WAV.
On a PC, the WAV invokes Windows Media Player or the like.
