jprutig Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 i pretty sure you have to convert the mp3 to wav formatthen you can burn it------------------you can judge the quality and content of one's character by the way they treat someone that can do nothing for them...

JackMeOff Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 Originally posted by peeps:i pretty sure you have to convert the mp3 to wav formatthen you can burn itNope, you only have to do that if you want to have a regular AUDIO cd. ...you may want to burn MP3's onto CD because they don't take much space ...you could probably fit at least a 50 of them on one disk. Some newer audio cd players play MP3's these days------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pershoot Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 good point admin, but i would first update firmware and up your temp space, b4 lowering your burn speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dszorro Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Pickles,Go to www.musicmatch.com and download it.and use the options button in musicmatchthe go to file---->convert. All of your mp3's will be lined up and you highlight the ones that you want to convert. from Mp3 to Wav. It takes a few seconds to convert each song. ps. after you convert them they take up alot more room on your computer. so turn them back into mp3's.peace, love, double stacked zorros.

editor Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 All good points, but they've got nothing to do with your buffer underrun. What's that means, in most cases, is that your system can't keep up with the CD burning process. You need to slow your burning down to 4x or 2x and/or get more ram. If your drive is external, how is it connected? SCSI? USB? Also, most CD burning programs will automatically convert your MP3s to CD audio when you burn them on a CD, if you want a disc you can play in any audio CD player.

scorpio876 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 What it looks like you are doing is using that DirectCD thing to download it straight to the CD! That's a no-no! You've got to download it to the hard drive, then pick it. As long as you have it installed, use that Easy CD Creator program (It comes with almost every burner). Go through the wizard for audio cd's and it'll allow you to pick all the tracks you want for the CD. Then click and that's it. It's really not that bad, and there's no need for any of that WAV stuff anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
