quick mp3 question

[Corporate Thug]

a friend of mine is in a band and needs me to run off a LOT of his demos. i was wondering how much quality will i lose if i burn @ 48X, cuz i really have to make a lot so i dont have time to do 8X

How is this an MP3 question?

...and 2) I wasn't aware that quality was affected at all by burning at a higher rate.

Burning MP3 on a disc as data or burning CD audio discs?

 

[Corporate Thug]

mp3 burning question, whatever. so i doesnt effect quality?

 

[mjquilly]

doesn't matter. the only difference the speed you burn at will cause is either the cd burns successfully or it doesnt.

audio

If you are going from MP3 -> Audio CD (MP3 -> Wav), you've already lost some quality.

You won't lose any more by burning at 48x vs 8x.

gracias, off to work then

 

[Luagsch]

if your drive has burn proof just burn at max (if the disks can handle the speed)

 

[nativesunshine]

from past experience..

certain older cd players won't be able to read it if you burn too fast.

just to let you know...

If your drive can do it, then you will get a bit for bit exact copy at any speed.

Why does MP3 -> Wav lose quality?

Are you serious?
By definition, mp3 is a losey compression scheme.

Right, but I would figure going to wav wouldn't lose anything. I understand the other way around, but I thought that if you convert your mp3 to a wav file, your wav file will be the same quality as the source mp3.

Oh, my fault. I was thinking wav -> mp3.
You don't loose anything going from mp3 to Wav.

It will. You don't lose quality converting to wav, but you lost quality in the original conversion to MP3.

a band distributing a demo from mp3 source?! seems like you'd have better quality recordings to distribute...

It's going on a CD-R. That screams low budget. Besides, most demo tapes and CDs are thrown away

 

[0roo0roo]

thats pretty sad, couldn't spare 700mb for a cd? 🙂

Here's what I've found about burn speed and recording:

When burning hard drive backups, and other compilations with many files, High speeds usually mess it up (probably because the cd will be read as fast as the drive can read it, up to 48 or 52x)

When burning audio, speed doesn't really matter, as it will be played back at 1x

I don't know if the "technical" details are 100% correct, but it works for me.

in the golden days, many people experienced errors, jitters and skips when burning audio cds faster than 16x. Some of the old school and purists still burn at 4x MAX and i know a few that still burn 1x.

mp3 to WAV = NO LOSS of quality

 

[BennyD]

man, i burn at 48x and have had no problems what so ever, even buring thousands of images onto disks, aswell as archives

 

[OIKOS]

..... a quick question.....

if u burn songs as .wav on the cd... CD players will be able to play it?????

lol.... thanks

if you burn it at 48x instead of 8x, you will be able to fit 6 times the number of tracks on it!

or if you keep the same # of tracks, the quality will be exactly 6 times better!
