Anyone know of a good (freeware) mp3 to cda convertor

Hi people,
- A friend of mine wants to write some
cd's but has downloaded mp3 format and
wants to convert them to cda so the
household/car stereo can play them.

A good freeware (non spyware/trojan)
mp3->cda and cda->mp3 capable unit
would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

John.

 

Public domain or otherwise free performances?

Don't you hate it when the only way you can get them is in a lossy
format? You'd think these people who give away their music for free
would at least use a lossless codec.

Of course, if it isn't free, he should buy the damn CD... unless it
isn't available on a real CD (I.e. one of those non-Red book compliant
copy protection schemes), in which case go ahead and rip it off for all
I care.

Most likely this will be a two-step process. Usually MP3->Wave->CDDA.
Winamp and your favourite CD writing application should do the job nicely.

The Other Guy

 

sounds that this fellow is wanting to use some sort of CD burning
programme that can burn MP3s as audio CDs.

If it has a CD burner, then it already has the means to do that.

I just use Nero, but if he has a burner it should have come with software
to do this.
Having to go from mp3-cda before burning has been done away with for a few
years now. Select CD type, Audio CD, drag mp3s, burn.

 

So true but for some even that is too much while Itunes is select tunes in
library and click button done

Good point, even my freeware DVD writer software can do this. Aside from
the fact that it would make it a lot less fun responding to the OP and
his 'friend' who clealy wishes to disregard copyrights, it also isn't
universally true. There are CD Audio capable tools out there that only
handle PCM and PCM wave files.

I'd use the MP3->wave->PCM option myself so I have complete choice of
which codec actually handles the decompression.

The Other Guy

 

Well *any* audio editor, provided it can read the MP3s in the first place
can save as WAV files.

Sounds to me that this person should be doing a little more research about
digital audio before it gets in any further to this task.

will take audio and make a CD-R

www.exactaudiocopy.de will take a CD and make WAV (or mp3 with the lame codec added)

 

Cdex is good, also mp3 Workshop
