Nero should convert the MP3s on the fly. Just create a new audio CD and drop the MP3s on the new disk.
Look in the Nero help section for more info. |

Thanks. Do I have to buy only RW blanks or will cd Rs work too? I read that those are better?

First, most people convert their music into MP3 format because it makes the file size small enough to be managable for Internet transfers. However, the MP3 format is a "lossy compression" format, meaning some quality is lost. This is mostly irrelevant, though, as MP3s are the largest source of songs, so you don't have much choice. Few people post raw WAV files, as they're 10 times as large.
Once you have the MP3 files, the next step depends on your software. The latest versions of most CD burning software will convert MP3s to CD format in real-time, so you can burn them directly. If your software can't do that, and you can't get software that does, then you can convert your MP3s into WAVs, and your CD software CAN handle WAV files. To do that, you'd need something like WinAMP, which can be set to send it's output to a WAV file instead of to your sound card. You then "play" the MP3, and a WAV file is generated (but no sound plays while that happens). You do this for each MP3 to create a corrsponding WAV.

Quoted: I just got a new computer w/both a CD ROM (52X) and CD RW (12x10x32x) drive (2 drives). It came with Nero burning software. The question is, how can I download music from the 'net onto the CD in standard CD format (not MP3) so I can play it anywhere. Or rather, can you point me in the right direction to find some instructions somewhere? MANY thanks! |

Some older cd players are picky about what color discs you use. They don't like the darker disks so only gold, silver or platinum disks work. I use Imation 12x silver. Most newer players don't have this problem though. The newest CD players out will play MP3s written to a CD-RW. |

OK, good. So I *can* use cd R type disks in a cd RW type drive, though?
Thanks again for the help guys. |

The conversion software from MP3 to Wav format is known as a "ripper" just do a search as there are several freebies out there that are easy to use.I used to have one where all I did was right click on the file and tell it convert.
Also if Nero is the older version without the MP3 converter, I believe you can ugrade that online for like 10$, I like Nero and use it myself as it is really easy and almost foolproof. |

CD-RW run about $5.CD-R are $.50-1.00.You can use R in RW drives but not the other way.RW you can erase and use over.If you have a buffer underrun on an CD-R it will be a coaster.Nothing to do but throw it away.You might want to buy a small qty of one brand and try them in case the burner doesnt like them.Though I don't think this is as much of a problem it used to be.

I would only buy one CDR, CDRW at a time and then try your burned CD on the other cd players you want to listen to it on. Like was mentioned, some cd players can be picky about what type of cds they play. Chances are you will probably have more trouble with cdrws.
