downloading mp3 files?
 

I have downloaded audio files to my computer (Windows XP) and the file type lists as Winamp media file. Is this the same as MP3? I ask because I burned these to a CD but it only plays on my computer, not my home stereo. What am I doing wrong?

you need a conversion program,, get "CDex" free from cnet.com-- do a search for it. then use it to convert the mp3 to a wave file... then you can burn it to cd so it will play on your home stereo. though, there are new players that will play mp3 c.d's- the benefit is that you can get 10 hours on 1 c.d

good luck!

You probably downloaded mp3 files. check by R-click and look at properties.
With most good burning programmes you can burn a audio cd direct from Mp3 without the need to convert to Wav.

These programs may also meet your needs.
