How to Convert MP3's to CD
MP3 audio has been compressed to about one-tenth of the original "wav" file from whence it came. In order for the MP3 songs you have downloaded from the Internet to be recorded onto an Audio Compatible CD, (that is to say - a CD that can be played in most any cd player like the one in your car), the MP3 files must be un-compressed and converted into 16Bit 44.1kHz WAV files. A software MP3-to-WAV conversion utility is called a "decoder".
The CD recording software that comes included with new cd burners may or may not have a "MP3-to-Wav Decoder" in its toolbox.
One exception is Nero 5.5 Burning ROM software from Ahead Software. Nero can decode mp3's to wav on-the-fly in real time, eliminating the extra step, a nice time-saver and space saver!
Another terrific new software is Dart CD Recorder 4.1
