Re: What media shoud I use for music mixes? CD-R or CD-RW Posted by Felix (from: 203.87.27.120) on November 28, 1999 at 16:00:58: In Reply to: What media shoud I use for music mixes? CD-R or CD-RW posted by ftaok on November 28, 1999 at 15:53:00: : Hi, : Can anyone advise me on what type of media I should use for my music files. I've put a bunch of songs from my cd collection to mp3 format, and my brother just got a CD-RW on his new computer. Now I want to be able to put my mp3's on disk so that I can play them on my home stereo and in my car. I've tried by converting some mp3's to wav files and then burning them onto a CD-RW. However, when I tried to play it on my car stereo, it gave me a cd-error. Same on my home stereo. The funny thing is that the disc works on a dvd player and on a dvd-rom. Is my problem the cd-rw disk or something that I'm doing. BTW, I'm using Adaptec Easy CD Creator. : Sorry for the long message. Thanks. : ftaok Hi ordinary cd players dont work very well (if at all) with CDRW media. Always use write once only media. Also burn on a slow speed (2 speed) and avoid the mp3 conversion altogether for optimum audio quality. Just rip it straight to .wav format from the audio cd and then burn your compilation. The mp3 step will decrease your quality to less than hi fidelity.
