MP3 to WAV

well if the deluxe version came with your CD burner than you can go straight from MP3 to CD...But most CD burners (like mine)..come with the regular version..and you can only put wav files on to a CD with that. You can't even convert MP3's to wav's with the basic version

while we're on the subject of MP3 stuff I'd just like to say one word..."Napster"
www.napster.com.....if you don't have it you're really missing out..and you better get it quick because The Man is about to take it down for good

yeah you can use regular old winamp to make wav files from your mp3's..and its easy

go to the select plug-ins menu..then go to output plugins..then select "Null Soft Diskwriter"..then it will ask you to select a directory..this is the directory where the wav files will be written to

Now when you play a MP3 file it will write a wav file to that directory and when you go to play the mp3 (thus converting it to a wav) you'll see the song progress bar moving ahead but you won't hear sound because its writing the wav not playing the song..it only takes 20 - 30 seconds to write a wav on my pc

You can also make a playlist then make wavs of all those songs in succession.

when you're done writing wav's and you want to play the MP3's again you have to go to the plug-ins menu then output and select "Nullsoft WaveOut" so that it will play the MP3's again

That's the way that most people make wavs out of their MP3's so that they can burn CD's...and its probably the best way of doing it short of buying Adaptec Easy CD Creator Deluxe..but which is 90 bucks and has some bugs I hear..and don't even think about buying that "MP3 Wizard" thing..thats the shltiest piece of software ever made..just read some of the reviews of it on amazon.com
