|
| Does anyone know how to (cheaply) convert a MP3 file into a CDA (like the ones that can be played on a CD player)? I want to put the "Family Portraits" on CD but my CD player doesn't play MP3's. |

Two of the easiest ways I can think of:
1) Download Winamp, and read up on how to convert MP3 to WAV. Then, use your burning software to make an Audio CD (you have software that came with the CD-writer, right?)
2) Download the demo of Nero, which I believe is at nero.com It will convert MP3s straight to Disc! The demo works only for a few weeks, but that can be worked around by messing with the date on your computer.
Hope this helps!!

| Hey Thanks! I've never heard of Winamp, does it cost and how much? Also, do WAV files work on a regular CD player? I was under the impression that only CDA files worked... |

| That's correct, Bennett... However, most CD burning applications, when in the music setting, can convert a .wav file to .cda. |

| Winamp is a free program available at www.winamp.com, and you can get plugins for it to do just about anything. (including play Windows media and real audio files) Winamp is a genereal purpose player and is small. Programs like Nero usually can convert most popular music formats to the type the cd requires (cda).... |

Winamp is a totally free MP3 player. Personally, I suggest going with their older Winamp 2.x version, which I believe is much easier to use. I may be in the minority on this, tho.
Anyway, CDA files are technically CD-Tracks. I believe you cannot just covert to CDA and copy it to a disk...nor can you just copy a CDA off of a disk without converting it to something (WAV, MP3, OGG) You must use a Audio-CD writing program, which almost always comes with the Disk writer. If not, the Nero demo I mentioned is a good start.

| I would also recommend the Nero download, I use it to convert my online music files to disc. |
