Many of the files I post here for
clients
are MP3
files because
they are small and easier to download than other sound file formats.
MP3s are sound files that can play on your computer if it has
speakers and a soundcard.
If you want to play them on an ordinary CD player and you have a CD
burner, you can burn them onto a CD.
Make sure you create an 'AUDIO CD'
not a 'DATA' CD, unless you are sure that your CD player is a late
model whizz-bang one that also reads MP3 files. (Many recent CD and
DVD players will do this, but check first) Otherwise,
make sure that the cds you are making are AUDIO cds.
When
this happens the MP3s files are automatically converted in to CD audio
files – ie. ordinary ‘tracks’ playable on any CD player.
When
you are making the CDs, if you choose to make a ‘data’ CD, then the
resulting CD will be an ordinary ‘computer’ readable CD containing
MP3 files, not ordinary CD sound files,.
I
would NOT choose this option as many CD players, especially older /
car stereos, will not know what to do with an mp3 file.
(There
are occasions, when AUDIO CDs produced on a computer will not play on
a CD player, but these are usually very old players, and this is
fairly rare.)
Also be
careful if you are trying to use CD-RW (re-writable) CDs. Many CD players don’t like
them! |
