How to Burn MP3 files?

[Lia]

Does anybody here know how to burn MP3 files to a CD (MP3 output as well)? Do I need a specific software to do that? If so, is there any free downloadable program out there?

Thank you in advance!

It depends on what your goin to do wit em. For example, are you jes wantin to burn em onto CD for safe keepin? Er you wantin to use em in a portable CD player? If your wantin to keep em in mp3 format, all you do is use any burner software an burn it as data. If your wantin to use the CD in a player, then they'd have to be converted an stuck back into tracks etc, Nero has that ability as does most if not all the burners out there these days. So what is it ya wanna do wit the thins?

Burning MP3s to CD shouldn't be any different than burning any other format. What are you trying to use for that right now? Are you intending to store them as plain data on the disc, or as music to put in a CD player?

If you're using Windows, Windows Media Player can burn and rip to MP3. I don't know if it's compatible with Mac or Linux though. If you can't use WMP for some reason, I think Audiograbber will do the trick, though it's a little hard to figure out and it's kind of annoying since it keeps nagging you to buy it and what not.

But really try to use Windows Media Player if you can.

Er you wantin to use em in a portable CD player? If your wantin to keep em in mp3 format...

No, this is wrong. MP3 are played like any other computer file. You can burn them onto a CD/DVD like you can with any other computer file to make a CD-ROM disc.

But if you want to burn an audio CD (to be played in an audio CD player), they have to be a specific music format. You have to convert the MP3 files into WAV files set at 44KHz. And then you have to specifify in your CD writing program that you want to make an audio CD so it can record it properly.

An just what is wrong wit what I said?? You jes said the same derned thin I did..... however, if you wish to leave the files in an mp3 format, they will NOT play in any standard CD player. If you wish them to play in a CD player, you havta convert them to wave files an stick em in tracks. btw... they do not need to be burnt at 44khz to begin wit, you can burn them at jes bout whatever you wish, but you'll run into problems wit a frequency that is to low er to high.

A data CD wit mp3 files on it will play in a PC cd player/dvd but they will only play 'like' a normal audio cd player in newer OS's er another piece of software like windows media player, only later versions though.
