MP3 Pros & Nero software

Though I have recently downloaded some MP3-Pro files and had success burning them with Nero Burning Rom (I also have the mp3 pro plug-in for it), I just today tried burning some mp3's which also seemed to be mp3-pro's (they were 64 kb and sounded very good). However, after I burned them, and I did it twice, the resulting disc had the music on it at half-speed. I have no idea what happened, and could not find anything in my 'preferences' dialogue that seemed to help.

First: Does this sound familiar, and does anyone have an idea how to fix my problem? And...

Second: Is there any other program that is good at recording MP3-Pro's to disc? And...

Third: Other than the file size, how can I tell a mp3 and an mp3-pro apart? When I right-click and view 'properties', it doesn't seem to differentiate between the two formats.

Any help at all would be a great help indeed. Thanks in advance!

Snap!

I had a similar problem but when I burnt the MP3's using Steinberg MP3 Pro the songs played at twice the normal speed.

I'm not sure what caused it but checking the affected songs showed they all had a Sample Rate of 88200. The normal is 44100. I would assume yours are set at 22050.

I edited these songs using Sonic Foundy Sound Forge which decodes them to WAV files. Make MINOR changes to the songs and then resave. This recompiles the file and they play OK.

Hope this works for you.

I use Shuffler Music Converter to recompile as bog standard mp3s.
I find for me that mp3pro can cause buffer underruns at high burn speeds unless youve got a burnproof or similar burner.

sound forge problem

With Sound Forge, have you had a problem playing files? Any idea why files can't be played in Sound Forge?

i don't use SF but the problem could be a "non standard" MP3 header; try to decode the files to Wave bevor loading in SF; use the MAD decoder for doing this;
BAO - burnatonce (www.burnatonce.com) uses the MAD decoder and i think there is also a WinAmp plugin available;

That's the Winamp "file writer" plugin which outputs to .wav, .ogg, .mp3 etc. rather than direct sound. actually they are quite a few "filewriter" Winamp 2.X plugins available.
Still if you want to have an idea what's wrong with your MP3's you should use the MAD commandline decoder and Speek's MAD frontend: http://home.wanadoo.nl/~w.speek/mad_frontend.htm (commandline decoder included).
Use -v at the options box (verbose mode), which will allow you to see all MP3 details in the commandline box (clipped frames, header problems etc).
