If you just want to burn the file onto a disk I'd recommend a standard CD-R since they're relatively cheap, or CD-RW if you want to be able to make the CD blank again in-case you no longer want whatever is burnt on it and wanna reuse the CD for something else.
Or you can go a step further and use a DVD-R or DVD-RW instead, which contains like 6x space. There's a whole bunch of different types of DVD's though so I'm unsure which format is best to use...
If you really want to future-proof yourself there's the BD-R and BD-RE (Blu-Ray disks) but I think that's overkill and a waste of money.
As Wiener pointed out though, there are special disks specifically for audio playback such as DVD-A aka DVD-AUDIO
These are so you can listen to your music on commercial hardware dedicated to that purpose.
CD's are still the mainstream standard for audio disks by the way.

Quote: | Recordable Audio CD
The Recordable Audio CD is designed to be used in a consumer audio CD recorder. These consumer audio CD recorders use SCMS (Serial Copy Management System), an early form of digital rights management (DRM), to conform to the AHRA (Audio Home Recording Act). The Recordable Audio CD is typically somewhat more expensive than CD-R due to (a) lower volume and (b) a 3% AHRA royalty used to compensate the music industry for the making of a copy

The ReWritable Audio CD is designed to be used in a consumer audio CD recorder, which won't (without modification) accept standard CD-RW discs. These consumer audio CD recorders use the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), an early form of digital rights management (DRM), to conform to the United States' Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA). The ReWritable Audio CD is typically somewhat more expensive than CD-RW due to (a) lower volume and (b) a 3% AHRA royalty used to compensate the music industry for the making of a copy.

Personally I blame DRM crap for all this confusion... If everyone wasn't so concerned with preventing duplication of content things would be soooo much easier and compatibility wouldn't be such an issue.
