I recorded a nice cello concert in WAV on my new Zoom H4 field recorder. It plays GREAT in iTunes, but when I burn as CD the CD plays at half-speed and sounds HORRIBLE. Is WAV only readable on PC machines? Do I have to record in future on MP3 to work on my G5? Can I convert this WAV recording to MP3? I want to let the players hear the recording without making them sit at my computer!

That's a bit strange, did you burn it as an audio CD? What are you playing it in?

What frequency is it recorded at? Macs can use Wavs without a problem, but you might want to test exporting it from iTunes as an MP3 to see if you get the same problem.

It sounds like you've recorded at a sampling rate of 88.2 or 96 kHz and it is somehow being burned to 44.1 kHz without actually being downsampled before.
Try setting iTunes' import preferences (iTunes --> Preferences --> Advanced --> Import) to "AIFF encoder".
Then click on the track, and go to "Advanced" menu --> Convert selection to AIFF. This should convert the track to 44.1 kHz, 16 bit - audio CD format.
Try burning the converted track and report back.

Yep - that's my thought - I meant sample rate, not frequency.

Well, the sampling rate is the sampling frequency, so you weren't really off-base.
