Converting MP3 file

[Daniel]

Help!! i desperately need a software which could convert a mp3 file to be able to listen in Radio!! How am i supposed to convert it and then burn it into CDRW??

[gohweihan]

Nero Burning ROM or Roxio Easy CD Creator can do it easily...

You can download a trial version of Nero from www.nero.com which limits the burning to 1x.

i already d/l nero and burned 5 mp3 songs on a cdrw. Unfortunately, when i tried to listen it by radio, it still do not worked, but it do work when i listened it with computer. The songs already change to .cda format. Can anyone solves my predicament? I am doing an assignment.

Maybe because your 'radio' (did you mean your CD player?) doesn't support reading CD-RW ... try burning the songs onto a CD-R instead ...

What kind of CD player are you using? Can you play the CD-RW in your CD/DVD-ROM drive as an Audio CD (as opposed to MP3 tracks)?

Try luke's suggestion to burn it on a CD-R, and try to keep burning speed as low as possible (maximize compatibility).

These is a difference between playing CDRW and CDR? I thought as long as i change it to .cda format, it will be alright..... :lol: Alright i might give it a try. By the way, how am i going to remove those songs that i have burn into CDRW?

How am i going to delete the existing MP3 files in my CDRW?
Here is the link for the problems that i encountered.

You cannot delete files through Windows Explorer I think. Try using Nero Burning ROM and quick format the disc..

[luke]

you don't have to delete the files ... just burn the songs onto the same cd-rw and it will replace the tracks that are already in the cd ... but if you want to clear the cd-rw to write other kinds of files in it, I think you can 'format' the cd-rw (not so sure) ...

again, cd-r is so cheap so you should just use cd-r ... despite the fact that both cd-r and cd-rw are cd, they are structurally different, so old cd player might not be able to read cd-rw ...

Perhaps like what others said, you should try burining the songs into a CD-R instead of a CD-RW, as there might be compatibility issues between the CD-RW and your CD player. CD-Rs are generally compatible with a wider range of players compared to CD-RWs.

On another note, you should set your burning speed to 4x or less, as some CD players have problems playing (or even identifying) discs burned at more than 4x.

i dont think you can delete .cda files using windows explorer. each .cda file is like a shortcut to the real big file. reformat the disk. just get yourself a cd-r will ya?

could not find the format button in nero... :oops:
