I'd use a WAV editor. There is a Winamp plugin called Audiostocker which is designed to "normalize" playback volume, but I don't know whether it can be used at the same time as the Disk Writer plugin. Alternatively you could try and use a program that goes directly from MP3 files to burning an audio CD and had normalization functions built in. MP3 CD Maker does, but I could never get that program to work at all, and the help is useless (essentially non-existant).

Personally I use Goldwave (www.goldwave.com) to edit the WAV files. There are programs that will do some kind of "normalization" during the decoding or burning process (e.g. MP3 CD Maker claims to do this - but I never got that program to work)... but you have much more control and sense of what results you're getting if you edit the files manually...

You will first need to convert the FLAC files to another format that your burning program is familiar with. Windows users can use the FLAC Frontend, to convert FLAC files to WAV files, which are suitable for burning programs. For Macintosh OS X users, Dan Greuel has created a tool called MacFLAC.

You will first need to convert the SHN files to another format that your burning program is familiar with. The following programs will convert SHN files to WAV files, which can be burned to a CD. More resources are listed in this FAQ. Windows: Download and install Michael K. Weise's tool, mkwACT. Or, another good tool is Foobar2000 - make sure you get the "Special" version to have Shorten compatibility!

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.

Yes, using a piece of software called a 'CD Ripper' - go to the Dukebox software page here. Make sure you are not infringing any copyright though.

In the AVI Export Setting window, you may adjust the Recording volume slider. If the slider doesn't work or there is no audio in the output video, please open the system recording control by clicking on the Advance button. And make sure that you have selected the waveform audio type as the recording source. Please notice that your audio card does support the waveform device recording.

X-CD-Roast 0.98alpha14 is not yet able to handle mp3-files directly, you have to convert the files yourself into wav-format. There are a lot of ways to do this - you can try mpg123 -w myfile.wav myfile.mp3. In the end you have a lot of wav-files which should be written as audio-CD. Just make sure X-CD-Roast does find your wav-files in its image-directories and then just go ahead like described in FAQ Question 17. Note: X-CD-Roast can only write CD-quality wav-files (44.

Recording does not start when I click the recording button. (There is a time lapse before recording begins.)

An internal or external CD-RW drive that is connected to the computer that you use to play your music. A blank CD-R disc that is compatible with the write speed of your CD-RW drive, and that is able to record audio files. Please refer to the packaging for the blank CDs, and consult the documentation that came with your CD-RW drive if you have questions.

Sure. Just burn an audio CD the way you would burn any assortment of music. If your software leaves the files in MP3 format, you'll need a deck that supports MP3 playback.

Answer: To burn MIDI files on a CD you first need to convert them to a .wav (WAVE) file. For converting MIDI to WAVE you basically have two options: First of all, you need to select your MIDI synthesizer as recording source: open your sound card's mixer device by double-clicking the speaker icon at the far right end of the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Make sure you are adjusting the recording controls and not the playback volume controls (select "Properties..

LimeWire does not have built-in CD burning capabilities, however other programs do, and your operating system may have CD-burning capabilities. If you would like to burn CDs, you would need to obtain a program that burns CDs or locate that feature of your operating system. You will also need to know the location that your files are downloaded to in order to use them.

No! CDBurnerXP does not contain adware nor spyware nor any other restrictions. It is absolutely free.

Check that your computer has an internal CD-R/RW drive. If not, you need to use an external CD burner. For burning music CDs you need CD-R disks. (They don't have to be special audio CD-R disks-any good quality CD-R disks will work.) CD-RW disks mostly are used for computer data. Audio CD players can't read CD-RW disks even when they contain only CD audio tracks.

You can burn maximum 100 songs on a CD. But normally, only about 13 to 20 songs can be burned because of the capability of the 74 minutes normal CD. The normal CD doesn't compress the audio data like MP3 format. Actually, the MP3 files will be decompressed before being written to CD-R or CD-RW disc. So, you can only burn 74 minutes of audio (about 60M MP3 files) in one CD.

Before ripping CDs to audio files, you can configure the output audio files' settings including CBR, VBR, Maximum Bitrate, Minimum Bitrate, Quality, Channels, Output Folder. You may enter the options dialog from "Tools > Options ..."

Select the track to convert and click the CD->MP3 button or use other button options to convert WAV->MP3 etc...

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

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 :-(

That question is beyond the scope and relevancy of this FAQ. Read the instructions or the help files for your CD-R software, or try the newsgroups: comp.publish.cdrom.hardware, alt.comp.periphs.cdr or alt.cdrom There is also some information available on the WWW. There is a good CD-R FAQ at: http://www.fadden.com/cdrfaq/ and the comp.publish.cdrom FAQ is available at: http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/cdrom/cd-recordable/part1/faq.html

You can burn them to CD, transfer to your portable media player, stream them to network media player (if you're really flash!) or just enjoy them from your PC.

Yes, once you purchase Weed files, they can be burned to CD for playback in your home stereo, car stereo, or portable CD player. Unpurchased Weed files can be burned to CD as data for playback in someone else’s computer. Visit the CD burning page for more information.

Yes, you can. However you will be limited to no more than 5 burns for protected Windows Media files. Also by the terms of your agreement with the Channel 4 Radio site you are also limited to how many times you can burn any content to CD.
