Are .wav files also compressed like mp3's so you can have more than the average of about 15 songs? Or does it "uncompress" them and make it like your burning a regular audio cd?

WAV files are uncompressed music files.
You can't just copy music files to a CD and have them play in a stock CD player. Your burning software has to convert the files (WAV, MP3, or whatever) into CD audio tracks when it burns the disc. Almost all CD burning software will do this automatically with WAV files and good software (such as Nero) will do it automatically with MP3 files as well.

Technically, .wav is just a container like .avi, but they are usually PCM. But they are not always 44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo PCM like CDs. But most audio CD burning programs will convert automatically if needed, and many (like Nero as mentioned above) will convert MP3s automatically as well.
