I changed all the mp3's to wav using Cdex still there were three that my burner program said were not in correct format it gave me three examples of what it would except I found the wav format numbers that it gave me in sound recorder so I changed those three in there and then it burned them all beautifully thankyou very much for your advice!

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.
