MP3 recording methods needed ???
OK this should be simple but so far it isn't??
I have an Alpine HU that can play MP3's.
I have some MP3's on my computer.
I used Windows Explorer (Wxp) to transfer the files from the HD to CD.
It gave me 2 options, 1) record as music file 2) record as data file.
At first I selected the music file option but I think it converts the files into a wav file so I can only fit 73 minutes on the disk.
I saved them as data files so I got something like 9 hrs of music on the cd but the Alpine wont read it??
My computer at work (W2k) has no problem so I know the disk is ok.
How do you guys do it??
Is there a good freeware program out there to do this??

Re: MP3 recording methods needed ??? (Metal Wulf)
I think the CD's were Memerex
I was wondering about the finalize thing?
When I used Easy CD Creator it did a finalize.
I have not installed this software since Wxp seems to let me just drag and drop files to the CD. When I tell it to burn the files it just spits out the disk when done.
Sounds like I have to re-install Easy CD.
Unless there is something else that will work better?
I think I have the lite version of Nero Burning that came witht he laptop.
Thanks

Re: MP3 recording methods needed ??? (JB666)
Well I got it to work ??
As far as I can figure:
I downloaded some Metallica concert tunes off their site so I saved them in seperate folders for each show.
Since my Alpine has some sort of feature to look thru folders I just recorded it this way.
It couldn't seem to read it??
I did another ecording last night but no folders, just dumped all the songs onto the disk and it worked this way
Cool, even shows the song title and stuff.
I guess I have to read up on how this folder thing works.
