My CD player plays regular CD's and I was told to convert any MP3 files to WAV's if I wanted to burn them to a CD and play them. Win XP will burn these waves to CD's and I can play them with some success. question-Problem - the new Media Bonus pack can convert MP3's to Windows Media Audio files to save HD space, which is good, BUT I don't know if there is anyway to burn them so that my CD player will read them. Can anyone suggest a link or provide an answer? Thanks
You need the file in WAV format before you can write it to a CD so that your CD player can read it. There are some programs that go "directly" from MP3 to Audio CD, but AFAIK this just converts the MP3 to a temporary WAV file in the background which then gets burned to the CD. Why not convert the MP3s to WAVs, burn the WAVs onto CDs, and then delete the WAVs?
Thanks Jason - that is what I have have been doing. Just wondering whether the WMA format was convertable - it seems to be about 55% of a MP3 file and my "old ears" don't discern any difference in quality.
