Babies respond to music and musical instruments from a few weeks of age.

Can I put my MP3 tunes onto audio CDs to play on my stereo, in my car etc?

Xorys' MP3 FAQ
There are programs that claim to be able to take MP3 files and decode them and burn them to an audio CD all in one operation... MP3 CD Maker is one such program. I believe Nero can also do this. I tried MP3 CD Maker, and I couldn't get it to even burn a single track successfully, and many other people seem to have had problems with it as well... but I suppose *somebody* somewhere must have got it to work. Nero I haven't tried. Decode the MP3 files to WAV files.

I burned some audio CDs and they won't play on my CD player - how come?

Xorys' MP3 FAQ
Make sure you are using CD-R disks, not CD-RW disks - very few CD audio players can recognise CD-RW disks at all. Make sure you are burning single session audio CDs with your software - audio CD players won't, for the most part, recognise data CDs or multi-session CDs. If you are burning single-session audio CDs on CD-R media and they still won't play on your audio CD players, then I'm afraid it looks as if your burner just can't produce disks that your audio players can read.
