MP3 Music Burner Software

[snaps98]

CAn someone recomend a good music file burning software to burn my downloads to play in my car. I use music match but is there better software that burns wav or mp3 files that makes them sound excellent? or does it just depend on the actually file being downloaded? Basically what i am asking is there anything out there better than MusicMatch that burns and manages my music files and gives them a great digital sound???

It all depends on the bitrate. I also use MusicMatch. It works great! If you want high sound quality buy the cd, if not MM burner has many digital effects settings that work quite well. It really depends on the file you downloaded. Just search for the highest bitrate.

Ok, I´ll give you some choices and let you make up your mind.
Beware, though, that not all of these are free, so you´re on your own i what regards the way in which you´ll obtain the software.

The most well known are Nero (http://www.nero.com) and Easy CD and DVD Creator (http://www.roxio.com/en/products/ecdc/index.jhtml) . I, and most of everyone here, will recomend Nero every time of the day. Personally, I don´t think Nero handles high frequencies (like hi-hats) very well, regarding audio burning, but it basically does anything you can possibly do with a CD. I´ve tested the new ECDDVDC and was pleasantly surprised, even though it´s hugely bloated.

My choice goes to CD Mate (http://cd-mate.com) . It does everything Nero does, it´s smaller, and sounds better. Like Nero, it also has a Label designing program, that works better than Nero´s. You can also try

You can also try Exact Audio Copy (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de) . It´s free, but it´s mainly a ripper (the best ripper out there, IMO). However, I´ve burned a few CD´s with it and they sound pretty good, but it´s not a very easy program to deal with.

All the programs above, except CD Mate, have basic audio editors included. They help you remove clicks, pops and hisses from your files, place fades, remove silence or bits of the file, etc.

For a more professional choice, you can´t do no wrong with SoundForge (http://www.sonicfoundry.com/Products/showproduct.asp?PID=668) , which I believe is the best audio editing and recording program out there, or Steinberg´s WaveLab (http://www.steinberg.net/en/ps/products/audio_editing/wavelab/index.php?sid=0) , which is also good. But notice that these are more professional programs, so they´re not for your casual "Burn a CD to listen in my car just 10 minutes before I go out for the night" burning.

My final advice? Go with Nero or, better yet, CD Mate.

Nero's good for many things, but not great for music. I'm not saying MM is the best, since I haven't tried many others. I do use nero though...just not for music. I have found musicmatch to be quite good, seeing as it was designed just for music. Everyone has an opinion; the fact is, there's no shortage of music burning software. Good luck!

u have many options when it comes to buring cd's but ill suggest u a winamp plugin......it creates multiple crossfading wav files using mp3s that can be burned to make a nonstop track changable audio CD

Link SqrSoft ACF Disc Writer
http://classic.winamp.com/plugins/detail.jhtml?componentId=32363

or homepage http://www.sqrsoft.com.ar/

with this plugin you can create non-stop cd's (basically before 1st song finishes the other 1 starts , also called cross fade effect) an the Cd will be track changable that is you can directly jump to lets say 5th song if you want too.......

if you cant get it work post here ill check later

peace....

i use stomp recod now max, no1 seems to like it, mostly people use nero
