OT: how do I reverse mp3?

[cakin]

My truck and car have the old style CD players that don't play mp3's. And I don't want to spend money on upgrading them when I obviously am in need of more seti crunchers. So how do I convert mp3's into playable OLD style cd's?

Of course links or PM's to freeware is greatly appreciated.

TIA...cakin

You can burn them with a program such as Nero, you can create an Audio CD, and it will convert the MP3s to WAV (CD music) and burn that to CD, which will be playable in (almost) any standalone CD player 🙂

Exactly. Most CD burning programs will automatically convert MP3s to WAV format and burn them as a universally readable CD, assuming you check the option to burn an Audio CD. 🙂

You must also remember that not all CDplayers can read burned CD's

1.) Download WinAmp
2.) Fire up WinAmp
3.) Go into Options, Output and double click on Disc Writer
4.) Set the output directory to where ever you want to hold them
5.) Use what ever software you can find (I use Sound Forge 4.5) to normalize and trim off any pops at the beginning and ends.
6.) Lay out the tracks in your favorite burning software
7.) Toast them to a Mitsui gold on gold CD-R (playable on everything I've ever tried them in)
8.) Kick back and enjoy the mellodies

I've had bad luck with trying to burn MP3's on the fly into red book audio discs. Plus if you don't normalize the volume levels one song will be so soft that you'll have to crank up the volume to hear it and the next track will blow out your speakers.

Good luck!
