1. A system comprising:
- a memory device configured to store audio content encoded in a first format, the first format having a first sampling rate;
a controller coupled to the memory device and configured to execute a set of instructions to generate an output file as a function of the audio content, the output file including an audio file and an audio header, the audio file encoded in a second format having a second sampling rate and the audio header encoded in a third format having a third sampling rate, wherein the third sampling rate is independent of the second sampling rate; and
a compact disc recorder coupled to the controller and configured to receive the output file and store the audio file on a compact disc.

Abstract
A system and method for burning program information and compressed audio content into a recordable audio compact disc. The resulting compact disc can then be read and the information and audio content stored in non-volatile or other memory in an audio player tailored for use in the music-on-hold or in-store advertising markets. In various examples, the system and method includes an audio player with a CD player mechanism and audio production builder software. The data is processed in a digital format. In addition to the stored audio content, the compact disc includes program or play information.
