Hi All


Is there a way/program you can burn MP3 Files to a CD-R?

Windows Media player won't work.

Thank you All

Can confirm cd burner xp is still a good option

You can use it to make regular audio cds as well as data discs.
Some car decks and discmans play mp3s from data discs

I haven't burned a CD in a while, but if I did I'd probably still use EAC, which I think is still one of the only programs that will burn to correct the offset of different burners. There's an offset of x number of frames or something (not explaining it right LOL) for reading, but also writing. Discs will still play offset but won't read back bit for bit accurately vs. the original wav files.

But, you might need to source wav files and not lossy eMPty3 files. Why burn audio from lossy sources anyway? Bloaty! I guess offsets on a CD won't matter if the files have SBE's anyway. Yikes!

Some of the items I have are MP3 only and they won't convert to FLAC or WAV without errors in Trader's Little Helper.


Thank you everyone, I'll try those
