Convert mp3 to normal audio CD?
 

This forum has been a mine of useful info for me lately so here is my next "brain picking" request:-

Is it possible to convert an mp3 file into a standard audio cd format? What I want to do is to convert downloaded mp3 music and burn onto blank cds that will play in my conventional cd players/ discman etc. Any tips gratefully received...

No problem!

Nero will do this for you on the fly. www.nero.com

What about Roxio Easy CD creator?

CD creator 5 will do it for you , I think 4.5 does it as well but not too sure.

Version 4 also works well - I would definately recommend CD creator.

Cheers for the info. I have Easy CD creator 5 and have just successfully burned in an entire mp3 album that I downloaded via WINMX. All the tracks have 'merged' into one on the cd. Is it possible to lay down an mp3 album in such a way that the cd player can 'see' the individual tracks?

In Nero you drag and drop them into the sequence you want, no idea about Easy CD Creator.

Thanks. The problem is, what if you have downloaded an entire album as one continuous mp3 file (it was like this on the server at the other end)? Having done this it you don't appear to be able to 'see' the individual tracks when you are setting up the burn. When you then play the cd you cannot skip to the next track since the player cannot differentiate where one stops and the next starts. Anyone got any ideas?

Currently I do not believe there is a solution there for that, you would have to break up the tracks into smaller MP3 files, then you can use any editor to lay them down with separation.

I use soundforge myself, you can open the large MP3 then cut sections of it and save as, poof! you are done.
