    Hello,

    I've been transferring a couple of my CD's on to the PC through Windows Media Player and was wondering if it is possible to transfer some of these files back on to CD as CDAudio rather than the WMA format, so i can play them on a standard CD player.

    If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated......


    Cheers


    Chris.

    You'd need something that can convert WMA files to WAV files (the CD Audio format) and then use Nero or similar to burn those to an audio CD. Google for WMA to WAV conversion and you're bound to find something.

    Sorry to hijack your thread so soon, but it's similar to a question i'm hoping to get answered :D

    Since putting XP on i've not been able to put easyCD back on (something about driver conflict blah blah blah). My dad asked me to copy a cd for his car and I said, yep, wont take long....... Had to use WMP to save and then burn the cds, which took ages and i'm not really sure what I was doing :D

    I set the format to "WMA Lossless". Which seemed the best option available. Is it?

    What's the best *free* (inc p2p :D ) software out there?

    I tried having a look at doing it with iTunes, and Real, but gave up :D

    Mo, in itunes, put the cd in the drive, click import. Make apalylist of your imported songs and click burn. I fail to see how this could be much easier!

    Gary, clicking "import" only seems to let me choose to import TXT, XML, and M3U files.

    This means nothing to me :D But no tracks appear for selection when I point to the cd drive.

    Try going to cnet. Go to downloads. There are dozens of file converter programmes. I can't vouch for the effectiveness, but most are free or time limited demo's. They are given a rating by users so try out the highest rated first.
