chez · **sounds like the chipmunks :-( -** July 6th, 2002, 06:40 AM

ive been downloading songs from winMx and have no trouble writing them onto my cds, they sound great, but ive downloaded some live comedy of billy connolly but when i write it to the cd it sounds like the chipmunks ;-( can anyone tell a dummy what im doing wrong, do i need to do anything to the mp3 before i write it to the cd

thanks :-)

the mp3 play fine in windows media, its just when i try to record them, like if i record a billy connolly spoken comedy clip and a song on the same cd, the song is fine but the live comedy sounds like the chipmunks like its going way too fast

when the billy connolly mp3s are playing i noticed they are playing at 32kbits/sec, yet the songs are playing at 160, could this be the problem?

what file extension do these have? Go to the file and look at it's properties. I would have to think that you have a different format for the spoken word piece. Did your rip these from cd or D/L them?

it just says mp3 format sound, and i downloaded them from winMx

You might need to convert to wav format and then burn it.
What are you using to burn the files with?
I think the builtin encoder is not compatible with those particular mp3's. I would guess you have mp3pro builtin to your burner?
Either way making the mp3's to wav should help. If you need a application to do that, try CDEX or EAC both freeware and easily found on the net. Or I believe you can use winamp to turn your files into wav files also.

ive got a creative blaster burner, with all the songs i just drag them into the burner and burn them and they come out perfect, its just these comedy ones that dont

convert your files to wav format and then burn them. It should be fine then.
Ask if you need help converting the files.

thanks for the help :-) do i have to download a program to change them to wav files?

Rickio · **well since I don't know what you have... -** July 7th, 2002, 06:11 PM

download cdex, it is freeware and it works well. It is also a good ripper and you can use it to convert between several formats like ogg to mp3 or to wav, very useful.
search on yahoo for cdex.
