Burning Mp3's w/CeQuadrant

Comment:
I have downloaded several .mp3 files and would like to burn them onto a CD. I can copy one file but not any others. I am using WIN98 version 2 and CeQuadrant. In CeQuadrant, the file I can copy has a green marker by it while the files I can't copy all have red markers by them. They are all .mp3 files. Any suggestions?

Are you trying to burn the MP3 to DC as an MP3 file or does Quadrant change the MP3 to wave format so you can use the CD in a regular home/car player? The reason I ask is, CD audio files need to be burned at 44.1Khz 16 bit stereo. If the MP3 you are trying to copy was not encoded at 44.1Khz but a lower rate such as 32Khz it will need to be converted first with a wave editing program before you can burn it as audio.

Thanks Kurt. As you might guess, I'm new at this and didn't know there was any difference. I thought I could just copy the files onto the disk, and start playing the disk on my CD player. I'll first see if I have a wave editing program (I don't think I do) and try to check the encoding frequencies.

i use that program, and it is that the mp3 file is of a different compression type a good, free program to use to uncompress to wav is mp32wav, it is small and fairly quick

Matt's & Liam's answers are both good advice but you still will have problems if the MP3's were encoded at a different sample rate then 44.1Khz. Try their suggestions first and if you still can't get the MP3's to convert to the proper wave format then use a wave editing program. If you need a descent wave editor, go to winfiles.com and look in the mutlimedia section for a program called Goldwave.
FYI, bitrate/compression rate of an MP3 file and sample rate of a wave file are two different things. Don't get these confused with each other. The bitrate on an MP3 can be any rate to be usable for a CD audio file. But the sample rate of the wave file MUST be 44.1Khz

I have the same set up that you describe with Win 98 (2) and Cequad. I have downloaded MP3s and tried to burn them as well. Some come down with the green icon and red. When I get the red ones, I have typically just gone back to the source and reloaded the mp3s, which show up green. I can then burn them onto a cd without problem. This does not explain the problem, but it has been an easy solution.
