You've obviously saved the files in 32-bit (or is that CoolEdit-Code for 24-bit?) format, which neither iTunes nor WMP can open. A standard Audio CD is 16-bit/44.1 khz so you'll need to convert them. In Cooledt:
Make sure you have backups of the original files! Now, open the file, press F11. (I think that's the standard keycommand for "convert sample rate and bit depth", or whatever they call it). Set the file to be converted to - you guessed it - 16 bit, 44 khz. (There should be a preset.) Press OK, save the file - done!
If you need to do this to a lot of files there's a "Batch convert" option in the File-menu.
Good luck!
