Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

You need to convert the .mp3 files that you download to what is called CDA format in order to burn them to a normal CD that will play in 'normal' CD players.

See the reply I sent you to your other post !

The program I have recommended will 'rip' (Make .mp3s from CDs) and also 'encode' .mp3s 'back to CD playable' format !

And, it ¡s completely free !

Might be all 'Greek' now but you'll soon get it !

btw, NEVER use RW (ReWritable CDS for music that you want to play in most normal CD players !

OK, and sorry..
You are right, I gave you way too much techno stuff to start with !

Oh, and congratualations for downloading and installing Phex instead of some of the 'others' !

Now, there is going to be nothing more simple for you to use than a program called

Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 ...
(Crazy name, huh ?)

You can download it from

here >

Ashampoo® Burning Studio 7


At its most simple you will have a free copy that you can use as a trial for 10 days... If you say yes to the question of whether or not you would like to extend this 10 day trial period to 30 days (and you are connected to the internet) then you will have a month to see if it is a good choice for you.
Nice, hmmm ?

Ashampoo will do everything you want to do in a very easy way. It is NOT complicated to use because all of the 'menus' are very clear and the Help files are very good without being overly 'technical'.

Don't get me wrong here !!! This is the program I use !!! And millions of others, also ! It is not special for 'dummies' !

The quality is tops and it is far better than the old 'best program' called Nero.

When you have installed it simply click on

Burn Or Rip Music

then

Create an Audio CD

then click on the Add button in the page that opens...

Then you must 'browse' within your computer's folders to find the .mp3 files that you want to be able to play on a normal CD...

Click Add again, if necessary, until you have selected all the songs you want for that one CD... Remember that you will normally not be able to 'add' more than about 15-17 songs per CD...

When you are finished selecting your music tracks, click on... Wait for it !...

Finish

Check to make sure you are happy with it all and then click on

Next

(You can change the sort order of the tracks. You can also click on Back if you want to Add someting else or make any other changes...)

Then you enter the real no-brainer zone where you are simply told to put a blank CD into your CD drive...

If the program reads the CD as being an OK and really blank CD you are then allowed to click on

Write

Next, make a tea or something and do NOT do anything else with your computer until the 'burning' is done... NO browsing or Skype or games or music playing or... well, DO NOTHING ELSE !!!


OK ?

Honest, if you want any advice that is more simple than this you're going to have to invite me for a long weekend !!!

Buy some CD-R discs from the shop and burn the mp3 files onto the disc using Windows Media Player.
The only thing you have to pay for is the discs and they are about £5.99 for 50 of them which is not too bad considering they used to be about 50p per disc :|

Good luck I hope this helps

Windows Media Player is the... I mean THE absolute garbage choice for 'creating/burning' .mp3s to CD...

You are totally limited by granny MS's rules about quality and numerous other important configurations.
The default 128kbps output file is practically a universal indicator to those who know about p2p that the file was done by someone who had no idea about anything other than what WMP told/forced them to do.
Nobody who cares about what they download selects those files unless there is absolutely no alternative and it is a VERY rare file.

Conversely, the resultant burned CD's - from .mp3s - are terrible- Really bad qualty. Both results are due to deliberate policies within Microsoft.
This is fact. You are SUPPOSED to be severely limited in terms of quality.

I am sorry if my above words are taken to be offensive to some of you, but there must be a time when you start learning that there is a far higher quality life 'outside' of the Microsoft Enforcement Camps.

So there !
