Hi, I 'm trying to burn onto a cd using Easy cd creator. How do I change from mp3 format to .wav so I can copy them?

Hi Chris, You need a program that converts mp3's to wav... I use Shuffler. It's free, here is the address and hope this helps... www.illustrate.org/ Dan

Thanks for the info Dan. I'm on my way there now. I suppose I am just impatient wanting to burn a cd. Got a new cdrw today! :)

Why would you want to convert MP3s to WAV. They Are to big of a file, you won't be able to burn alot of them on a CD. Just keep them as MP3. Or are you trying to play them on a Stereo? If thats the case just turn the mp3's to CDA format. Good Luck

Hello, You can use almost any MP3 player to decode MP3 to .WAV-files, with no need to download any extra files. We will use WinAmp since it is the most commonly used player. The instructions and screenshots refer to Winamp 2.10 and later. Older versions do support MP3 to WAV conversion, but the process is slightly different. As Winamp supports many other formats like MODs and SIDs thru various input plugins, it can be used for converting these kinds of files to WAV aswell. The main reason for decoding your MP3s to WAV is that they can be used for making audio CDs, but you might want to do it if you want to turn them into some other format like RealAudio or lower bitrate MP3s (to save space or downloading time). Decoding an MP3 to WAV will not improve the quality of the sound. Please follow these steps : 1. Start winamp, and press CTRL+P to bring up the preferences window. (alternatively right-click in winamps window, select 'Options', and then click 'Preferences...') 2. Select Output under 'Plug-ins' in the left frame. (double-click 'Plug-ins' if 'Output' is not visible) 3. In the right frame, select "Nullsoft Disk Writer Plug-in [...]", by clicking on it once. You should be seeing something similar to this: 4. Click 'Configure' to set the output directory, where your WAVs will be placed. This defaults to 'C:\Windows\Desktop' (your desktop). Click 'Ok' when you have selected the appropriate directory. (if anything other than a directory selector appears then you have probably not performed step 3 correctly) 5. Click 'Close' to save your preferences and return to Winamp. 6. Play the MP3s that you want to decode to WAV as you would do if you were about to play them as usual. This will make Winamp start converting them to WAV files. Don't be alarmed if winamp appears to freeze up, as this is completely normal. Just wait until it finishes. You should make sure that winamp is not set to repeat (the icon at the bottom right hand corner of Winamps interface), as this will make winamp decode the MP3s over and over again. 7. When you are done, go back to the output plugin selection (repeat steps 1 and 2). 8. In the right frame, select "Nullsoft WaveOut Plug-in [...]" instead of the disk writer plug-in. This will make Winamp stop decoding MP3s to WAV-files and play them as usual instead.
