Plenty of modern burner programs will take mp3's and convert them 'On The
Fly'  into .cda (i.e. normal CD tracks)..This is all well and good if your
PC is fast enough to cope with this extra operation, but many systems don't
like anything else happening at all when they are burning a CD.

When I was working on a x4 speed burner and an Cyrix 300 processor, I got
into a 'good' habit I've continued to today when dealing with mp3's. Before
burning, I convert the mp3 to .wav, then burn the .wav file-It takes a bit
longer, but it never lets me down. The other thing with mp3's-listen to them
before you burn.If you are downloading music from the web then burning,
quite often you will download a 'dud' copy-either it cuts off halfway
through, or there a lots of digital 'artifacts' (or dropouts) that ruin the
sound...

The music burning program I use (Feurio-see yesterday's missive!!) gives
you the option to either convert 'on the fly' or convert first then
burn-Obviously, if you choose the second option, you will need enough free
disc space (up to 800mb for a full CD's worth of music). Plenty of other
programs will do this conversion for you too-if you want any recommendations
for them, let me know.

Cheers
