yes, there is that option. and there is an added advantage in using nero in
that it has noise filters, (work great for lp to cd conversion) and also a
facility to "normalise" the volume. mp3s come at differing volumes,
resulting in annoying fluctuations in volume - nero will smooth those out to
a common level. this does work on a compressor basis like the dreaded
automatic recording levels on cheap hi fis, but then again if hi fi sound
quality was an issue you wouldnt be using mp3 ; )
but dbpower amp is a great tool for those who dont have nero (or similar)
its also great for ripping from cd to mp3. bung your cd in, go to explorer,
select your tracks, right click & you can rip to wav files, or straight to
mp3 format.
it also has a facility for line in recording - which makes it perfect for
lp/tape to cd conversion.
