I have downloaded 3 versions of an album but it always fails in nero to burn
the tracks.

I tried to get media player 11 to do the job but it has a cross at the
side of each track saying
"The file you are attempting to play has an extension (.mp3) that does not
match the file format.
Playing the file may result in unexpected behaviour." and it wont even
let me get as far as trying to burn a cd.

I thought it may be a codec problem so I thought musicmatch jukebox (now
yahoo player) to try this.. but this player doesnt like the tracks either .

how do I burn this ??

First you`ve got to find out if the file is a .zip file, a .RAR file,
an .ISO
file.
D/loaded files are often compressed to make for easier/quicker
D/loading.
Rt/click on the file, and do a properties.

Of course that is After you`ve scanned it for Malware !!.

Are we talking about a folder with loads of mp3s in ?.
An album when d/loaded, is as I said, a collection of songs
compressed .
An album is not normally a `mp3 file`.

If the files are MP3 they will have to be encoded back to WAV then burned
to CDA.

MP3 is technically not an audio file, but a data file type.
WMP cannot convert/burn "on-the-fly" an MP3 to CD.
If your intention is to burn a disk with MP3 content for playback on
a standalone DVD player that *specifically* states it can playback
MP3 material. Then use your burning software to compose a *data* disk.

That's not what Nero says...

Can you play the file? With what?

You're trying to create a music CD right? *wrong* You want to create a
*data* cd with the mp3 files as files on the disk. A music CD is a
completely different animal with no file system and music stored as raw
data.

Are they read-only? If it's trying to perform volume leveling it can't
because they're protected.
