Nero express works great for me.

 

not to hijack this thread but can anyone tell me how to make them mp3's into folders or files.What i mean is my friend lent me a mp3 and i could select what folder to play(each folder was a whole regular cd)and which track after.I tried to make a mp3 and it was like 80 songs long with no folders or anything.I use easy cd creator. thanks for any help in advanced

 

every has the right to there own oppinion

a song on a regural cd is about 50-60mb and when you compress it to 128kb/s you end up with a file about 3 mb (1/16th of the origional) your gonna lose some sq somewhere in there

lame encouder are very high quality thats what i use [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

it is very easy to do. go into the file where all your mp3's are stored and make a new folder call it what ever you want.drag and drop all the mp3's you want in that folder.
then when you go to make a cd drag and drop the new folder onto the easy cd creator like you would if you were doing a single mp3 song

realize if you only drop in folders and burn the cd when you put it into the cd player out will end up with an empty folder. i cant ecplain it very well but you will see when you burn a disk

i hope this helps

I'm an other and from what my ears hear, they can certainly tell the difference between a 128kb/s and a 320kb/s ripped cd.

Install Nero, or cd creator, both mentioned already, and you'll be all set Kid.

i dont know why you get one called playlist.there is probly some setting to chage this in your burning software
when you went to burn your cd you probly just added folders right?if you just drop in some mp3's they will show up in the empty folder

If you have a problem with sound quality then don't douwnload crappy 128kbps MP3 from P2P programs. Most MP3s on there are encoded using crappy encoders which are geared for speed rather than quality.

This is very true. If you have lots of space, rips original cd's if you get your hands on them inot wav files. They are much bigger nut if you are burning them onto cd's anyway then you don't need to worry about the space because you can delete it after you have burned.If space is a problem and you want to keep the files ripping at the best quality (windows media player best is 320). An average cd takes about 550mb at 320. Most people will not notice the difference between many different sample rates but the more you train your ear the more you will notice.

 

I also find a difference between the qualities even on my computer 320 sounds better than 128 and I have crappy speakers.

Also, the burn depth is very important.

A longer/deeper burn will sound much better than one that takes half a second to burn.

This is why a lot of the older cd decks are finicky when it comes to CD-R's, the burn isn't deep enough so it won't even read the information on the disk.

BTW, for those that don't know CD's do not have music on them...they have 1's and 0's that the D/A converter decodes into analog signal...digital signal cannot be heard. Just FYI.

If you like lossless audio try Monkey's Audio codec...

It will take an 80minute CD down to ~350MB.
