Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks to everybody who helped with my last request, I've got a few cool little programs that let me convert CD tracks to MP3s, WAVs, WMA and so on. But now I need a program that can turn MP3s back into tracks that can be read on a basic stereo. Backward, I know, but I'm sick of listening to the shit my friends play when we go training and I want to take my own music to listen to. Problem is, they use a ratty old stereo there that stutters when you put an enhanced CD in it, let alone an MP3 one. So is there any way to turn MP3s back into regular CD tracks? Cheers guys.

Guest Fook Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Go to download.com and search for an mp3 to wav converter. You should easily find what you're looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Sometimes it is the CD-R brand that is the problem, try using Maxell blank discs. Try conferting the file to WAV format then burn the disc, if you burn it in WAV format then use the Data Disc format instead of the regular music format, this might help. If your on MAC burn using the AIFF as it is the same as WAV just burn using the Data disc format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 WAV/AIFF is the old school way of burning cds and should work on everything no matter what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 It's probably also worth noting that Winamp has a DiskWriter plug-in that allows you to create WAV files out of mp3s, just in case you hate MusicMatch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Thanks a million, guys. I've been using CDex to create MP3s (lets you create them from line-in sources like DVD/MiniDisc/consoles too), and it can convert to WAVs, so I'll give it a try. You MUST burn the cd in DATA format for it to work. Thanks a lot man, I'll make sure it's a data disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2003 You may or may not like iTunes' methods of music management (though many, many more hate MusicMatch than iTunes I've found), but the CD burning options in that program let you specify an audio CD (60-80 minutes depending on the CD.) It even has a feature called sound check that equalizes the volume across all the tracks so you don't go from a song that whispers to another song blasting because someone encoded it too loudly.

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2003 here's the easiest way: Get some jumper cables. hook them up to your speakers, Red goes to right, black to left. Then hook the other end to the blank CD. Play the MP3 you want and it'll transfer, but you have to be squeezing the cables onto the CD when playing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
