MP3's

Comment:
I download mp3's from the web and record them on cd's. Before I start recording my music I check too see the songs are complete. The song I record on my cd's are complete but when I am done burning them I listen on my radio and some songs only recorded 40 seconds of the song. Is there something in my program or is there some settings in the song I must check. I use Win Me & Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4. Can someone please help. I am tired of wasting cd's

if you can listen to your cd's on your radio you are luckier than most people.

I have found that to happen on some of mine too. What I end up doing is re-ripping them, by converting them back to a WAV file and then back to an MP3. Often times it solves the problem. I use CDEX, and it it works fairly well.

Try MusicMatch Jukebox. It works great for burning mp3s.

Hey Guru if you can't listen to cd's after ripping on you radio or know someone that can't they probably aren't converting them to wav files. Hey jFrog and Ger where can I get CDEX and MusicMatch Jukebox? Please help Thanks for the response

-Buy a branded CDR .... -Do the burning in Track-at-Once Mode ... -Do not do/run other programe while burning ... -Check the delay time in the begining and at the end ... -Try lessen the speed of burning. Sometimes, audio CD can`t be read by certain player with high speed burning done on audio CD ...

Sometimes the mp3 is corrupt. U can know an mp3 file is corrupt by editing their tag ...If u canot edit(disable the read only) or add a tag, the mp3 is corrupted ... do as jFrOg says about decoding to wav and back to mp3 ... U can also try copying them back by recording them ... This way, u can also adjust the volume ..This will solve the currupted mp3 ...

Paul J Tipan, Guru was making a joke. No one can play CD's on their radio. Radios play music from radio waves, not CD's. Get it?

Just for the record, jFROG is correct on this one. You don't have to rip them again, but you have to re-encode the mp3's. Adaptec, for some reason, doesn't like some encoders and only gets the first little bit of a song. I re-encode with Xing mpeg encoder. There are cheaper ones available. -Jared
