converting MP3 files to Audio CD files so that they can be played on a stero
 

HI
When I downloaded my songs form LImeWire they all came up as MP3 files .
When I burned them to a CD using Roxio I was not able to play them on my stero. How do I convert these to Audio or is this only lists of MP3's

Help!

Short questions !

Looooongish answers, I'm afraid !

First, and there will probably be all manner of creatures around here coming in after me to argue about some of this, but...

If you are just starting out in all of this crazy p2p and burning and ripping stuff, you cannot possibly go wrong with using Musicmatch Jukebox... You can get it by clicking on the same in my 'sig' below...

You can take the 'free' version or buy it... There are VERY few programs out there that I would ever even dream of suggesting that people should 'buy' when there are 'free' alternatives, but...
Musicmatch Jukebox is certainly an exception... Fantastic value for money and it is continuously being improved.
It does more things than you'll probably even be able to learn about in the first few months of having it !
And, for 'tagging' of music files, including 'album cover art', NOTHING beats it !


Next, if you want to be a bit more 'sophisticated' and have practically total control over every step of what you are doing, get CDex 1.51 for converting from/to/between different formats... It is Free and is excellent... Simple also which is a bit of a miracle !
A very good program.

You are only going to be doing conversions from .mp3 to .wav in the beginning, but later... ???
;)

After you get CDex 1.51 you should get NERO CD Burning ROM...
There is an 'evaluation' version available to start with...

Both of the latter programs mentioned can also, obviously, be downloaded by clicking on the links in my 'sig'...


Now the probable argument starter stuff...
I would strongly recommend that you say 'adios' to Roxio...
It is very temperamental stuff and usually causes more grief than it's worth...

btw... Please, if you have a drive which supports writing to CD-RW disks (ReWritable), first practice using them... 'Coasters', or dead CDs lose there charm quickly as they pile up in the corner !

However, normally you do NOT want to use CD-RW disks for making CDs which are meant to be played in a 'normal' CD player... They may work, but the odds are against you !

There's loads more on all of these subjects, but you might as well start going a little more crazy first by doing it...
Then you can have some Really Bizarre questions to ask...

lol

... OR...

lol

You can believe in 'Peerless' who always seems to know when I am writing a long answer and gets in there first with something crazy !!!

:p

While you're looking for that install disk, see if you can find the word compander buried under some old socks !

:p
