No. The MPEG audio decoder in the Digital Video cartridge is only capable of decoding MPEG layer I (used for example in the former Digital Compact Cassette - DCC) and layer II (used for example in Video-CD). It is not capable of decoding layer III, the one used in the popular MP3 files. The CD-i's normal CPU (an 68000 at 15 MHz) is not capable of doing this in software, so it probably is out of the question :-(

A.Our Audio Book MP3-CDs will play on your CD Rom drive as long as your computer is enabled with pre-installed MP3 player software (most have this). If not, you can download MUSICMATCH jUKEBOX (PC,Mac or Linux), Windows Media Player (Most operating systems), RealPlayer (PC, Mac or UNIX) or Winamp Media Player (PC or Mac). [Top]

Use the software that came with your burner. Specify that the burn will be an "audio CD". Drag the mp3(s) to your layout. That's it. Note that you will get a maximum of 74 or 80 minutes of audio on each CD-R; this boils down to two 30-minute shows or one 60-minute show. Use 74min CD-R media for maximum playability. Some players have problems with CD-R, more with 80min media, and still more with CD-RW.

That's really beyond the scope of what I'm trying to do here, but you can generally do it with the software that came with your CD burner. There are two basic types of CDs you can burn, data and audio. You want audio in this case. Note that you may have to convert the MP3 file to .wav before your CD burning software will see it.

CD to MP3 Ripper is a piece of software for ripping audio CD tracks, converting audio formats. It supports ripping CDs to MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, and VQF files, converting MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG Vorbis from one format to another, resampling MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG Vorbis.

Before the installation, please see the topic system requirements first to make sure that your PC meets the conditions. Find the setup package you have downloaded from the website. If it's an exe file, double click it to run it, then follow the prompts to finish the installation procedure. If it's a zip file, please unzip it with WinZip first, then click the exe file to install it. If WinZip is not installed on your computer, please download it from the WinZip's website http://www.winzip.

To convert CD to MP3, please install the software and open the help file's topic "How to Convert CD to MP3" to see the detailed instructions.

No, normal CDs are CD-DA format; MP3s are in (yes!) MP3 format. Some new Discman-type players will play MP3s, but most don't like low-bitrate files. That means it will play audio CD-Rs (and even then you might expect hardware/media incompatibility due to different wavelengths used on DVD and CD media). Unless your unit specifically claims to play low-bitrate MP3 files you can assume it will not be able to play them at all. Consult your manual for specifics.

No, but they can be recorded from your computer to cassette or CD and played for later enjoyment. These OTR programs are recorded in compressed formats MP3 as data. This allows placement of a large number of shows on one CD at a cost of pennies per show. You can only place two shows on a CD that can be played in your regular CD player after conversion from MP3 to audio files.

Actually, yes there are certain aftermarket CD changers that can play MP3 encoded CDR's. Please check with your favorite manufacturer for details. No, unfortunately this cannot be done. CD changers and radios communicate with one another using a digital language - the same method used between a computer and printer, for instance. Digital languages are different from one another, and the languages cannot be mixed without using some type of translator.

Yes and yes. Using the free Rhapsody Music Software (available on Windows PCs only), you can burn tracks that are purchased from Rhapsody onto CD. You can also use the Rhapsody Music Software to burn CDs created from your personal MP3 collection. Streamed and downloaded (but not purchased) membership tracks cannot be burned onto a CD.

It is possible to convert MP3 files on your hard drive to regular music files to be burned on a conventional CD. However, if you have a CD-MP3 Hybrid Player, you can burn MP3 CDs, which are like music CD-ROMs, capable of holding up to 10 hours of music on a single disc. These discs can be played on Car MP3 Players, too, allowing you to enjoy hours of music in your car without changing discs.

You need a CD Ripper, or an all-in-one software solution. Checkout the following categories in our Software section: All-In-One and CD-Ripper!

You cannot play MP3 files directly using a regular CD player (although the RIO and such players play MP3 files directly). Instead, you must convert the MP3 file to WAV or CDA format. Many people use Winamp to do this -- just change the output to DiskWriter (this output plugin comes with Winamp), specify the output drive, and Winamp then (silently) writes the MP3's as WAV output. Don't forget to change back to the WaveOut plugin when you're done.

There is software to play audio CD's (cdp), VCD's (MpegTV, US$10 shareware), and a free MP3 player (X11amp).

They will work with any player that can play normal OTR rates like 32k/22kHz. The Volt seems to the the darling of the OTR community. Older players like the MpTrip require CD-style 44.1kHz sampling rates, so they choke on OTR. And of course they will play on any PC-based player like WinAmp. They will not, I promise you, play on your stereo: they are MP3 not audio CD.

You should have a 100 MHz Pentium at least to play back MP3´s in sufficient quality (i.e. without gaps while playback). Mind however that if you want to do something else on your computer while listening to MP3´s - or if you want to use PlugIns - a 100 MHz will not be enough !

You need a MP3 player ! Famous software players are WinAMP or K-jöfol -these are the two players that have the least need in CPU power. See the MPeX.net Software section for the best software players currently available. Furthermore there are hardware devices on the market to play back MP3´s - portables, stand alones and car devices updated weekly.

You need software in order to listen to mp3s. Following is list of excellent players that support Windows and Mac. A player that allows you to play most popular audio files, including MP3, WAV, MIDI, Real Audio, as well as video files, including MPG, QuickTime, Real Video, and AVI. It also has the ability to play anything from low-bandwidth audio to full-screen video. A player that gives you the ability to access all the RealAudio and RealVideo content on the web.

Yes, we have a DJ quality double-deck CD player on our P.A. system. We can play requests, and also keep the dance party going between band sets. Index

Yes, this should work fine, so long as your system is fairly powerful / not too overloaded. My living room system is a Pentium II and I never had a problem with that. The office system is an older Pentium 120 which I can't be bothered to upgrade at the moment. At first I had problems playing from the CD ROM on that - I kept getting skips in the playback.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Simply find a quite room where you will not be disturbed and a comfortable place to sit or lay down. Play the CD or mp3, and listen! After all, hypnosis is so easy, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and listen! That's all there is to it! (Just never listen to your CD or mp3 while driving in your car or operating machinery of any kind.)

Yes, if you have mp3 compressor or mp3 producer installed, you can copy a track straight to into an MP3 with windac32. Go to the menu 'DAC', then to 'select wave format' and choose 'Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional). The 'MPEG Encoder' (a.k.a. SoloH encoder) also allows MP3 encoding straight from the CD. Just because your CD-ROM is a 24x doesn't mean that it can necessarily rip audio at that speed.

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format, designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent audio, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. The majority of our MP3 CD's are encoded as 192kbps files and contain approximately 15-20 tracks. The entire audio book is contained on one CD.

Unfortunately, MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) audio files written to a CD-ROM can not be played by any of the current "mainstream" head units or CD changers. Many knowledgable individuals have spent hours installing PCs into their cars or building specialized hardware to play MP3 files in their car. Although many of these systems have been "hacked" together, there are now a number of commercially available systems that can be purchased and installed.

Like everything else, there are a number of steps involved. First of all, you have to decompress the MP3 files into .wav files.
