Brett and list: Just to clarify (and hopefully I've got this right) what
one needs to do is just burn that MP3 file to an "audio" CD; that should
work; at least it has for me (can't say for sure it will sound exactly like
the CD) but my ear doesn't seem to hear it (and my ear isn't that bad!

cd players do not play wave files so putting wave files on a cd will get
you nowhere. You must burn them as an audio cd which would result in file
names ending in CDA.
You can't copy files to a cd and then expect them to play on a standard cd
player.

thanks, but I have been asked to make standard cds from these mp3 files.
Otherwise, I wouldn't do it.

Just a note - ExpressBurn and CDex will burn MP3 files to standard audio
CDs just fine. Converting MP3 files to WAV is known as transcoding, a
process where you convert a lower quality audio file format to a higher
quality one. An MP3 file is compressed, and cannot be decompressed. So
while WAV files that were recorded/ripped as WAV will sound better than
their MP3 counterparts, a WAV file converted from an MP3 file will sound
exactly the same as the MP3 file but have a larger file size. To sum
up, converting MP3 to WAV is completely pointless.

Hi,
I am wondering why I am not being successful in this venture.
I have some mp3 files that I am asked to put on audio cd in standard
format.
I take the mp3 files, download them, then I use goldwave to save them
as wave files to play on a standard cd player, I also split the file
into tracks.
When I go to burn these onto standard audio cds they won't play, and I
can't figure out why not. I have made sure that the files were wave
files at 44100, 16 byt. and yet the results will play on some mp3
players, but not standard audio cds.
I have also tried this using cdex, but with the same result. I am
using express burn to burn my wave files. Can anyone think of what I
am doing wrong?
Thanks.
Vinny
