kelsey damas <xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxxx.xxx> typed: To burn an mp3 to CD-R (this is how I do it anyway): 1. download the file to the local machine. with the aphex site, I prefer using fetch FTP because if it is busy you can try again really quickly with little trouble. 2. Drop by www.download.com and pick up "Mpecker Drop Decoder." This will allow you to take your mp3s, drag and drop them over the Mpecker Icon and it will automatically convert them to .AIFF. It takes a little while and ALOT of hard disk space. A 7 Meg mp3 can expand into a 40+ Meg AIFF so be sure you have the space for it. 3. Sometimes the file isn't in the right format (16 bit, 44.1 sampling rate) so stick the aiff into a sound editor to be certain (usually they are in the right format, so this isn't imperative) ----->>Let me suggest an alternate #3. Try SoundApp (current verison is, I believe, 2.4.4). It converts MP3 to whatever you tell it to (my conversion is set to 16 bit/stereo/SoundDesigner II format). Of course, I onlt throw the files (when done) to a DAT. OK to listen to until I get the real record, but no MP3 is good enough for CD. BRAT
