I have several patterns as well as songs and I would like to create 
an Audio CD.  I used e-loader to upload both my patterns and songs to 
my PC and played the midi file with Windows Media Player.  The 
patterns played fine but the songs did not.  Is there a reason for 
this?

Also, the quality of the patterns seemed poor on playback.  I am 
assuming this is due to the size of the file (only a few kb).  Is 
there any specifice Recording software I should use (Cakewalk, Sound 
forge, Protools)?  Once I use this software and convert the files to 
MP3 or WAV, will it sound professional?

Please advise.

Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated!!
