CD Burning (hell) Help!

wav is no good if your mp3 player requires only mp3s though.

that is a very fair point!

by far the best option i've found is to rip from cd using freerip (or eac which i couldn't configure) and ripping in wav (ie near cd quality). both freerip and eac are free to download. then you can use nero to burn onto blank, gives you cd quality rather than crap mp3 or wma formats. as noted elsewhere nero is the best burning software.

only drawback is that tons of memory used up, so rip, copy and delete.

the end product sounds as good as the original on my b&o system.

As it should. If you are ripping to mp3, it should be at a minimum of 192kbps.

thats the trouble with most of my collection, I burned it all years ago when 128 was conisdered the best! but like f*** am I re-burning 100 odd cd's, unless I have a few weeks to spare!

I can never be arsed to rip my CDs I just download the tracks I want off them as it saves having to find the Cd and pu tit in th eplayer. Very lazy I know but thats the whole point of having broadband.

shows the difference in quality doesn't it...if you can (and I can i think) tell the difference between 128kps and 192 kps then you can really tell with cd quality via freerip at 1172 kps. worth the extra hassle i reckon..

I think you might be missing Soton's point which was to put all his tracks (or a lot of them) on a single CD. If you're going to do them in wav format you may as well save the hassle and just directly copy the CDs.

just directly copy the CDs.

how though?

how though?

Using Neros CD copy facility, no difference between the original and the copy.
