Well, I'm not having success with my efforts. (Using Nero to read the files for burning.) Am I missing If MP3's can be played on a regular CD player, then why are there CD/MP3 players sold (I'm talking about personal players.) So far I haven't found a regular CD player that WILL play MP3's ... so this is how I test whether the CD I've burned can be heard by others who do not have an MP3 player. Me thinks there is more to the mystery than I can comprehend at this time. Evidently UK is way ahead of what's offered to us little folks on the buying end in the U.S. I have a "subscription" to a couple magazines. I switched my subscription from cassette to CD/MP3 after purchasing a player compatible with that. My husband used an MP3 recorder. When downloading to his computer, the program automatically put them in as wav files. HUGE. So then we used a free trial of something to convert them to something smaller that would fit on a CD. It's been a real headache. NOW someone else has requested to listen to the CDs. Because they are in MP3 format their CD player will not produce any talking. I'm tired. Isn't there an easy way through all this?

Have I assumed correctly that since MP3's are so compact that there is no way to successfully convert them to be heard on a non-MP3 CD player? They can be played on a non-mp3 player such as a cd over here!! (UK) That they cannot be saved/burned on a compact disc (CD) Yes they can be burned to a cd Deb Deb Pf --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
