Guys, can somebody help me out here please...

Right, just got a new mp3/cd player and I have been looking into burning several of my albums to one disc as mp3 files to play. I have read back through several pages of posts and searched this/advanced forum but could not come across my answer.

What I want to know, in the simplest steps possible, is what I need to do/use to burn several albums in mp3 format onto CD-R. I read about burning ISO level 2 as a data track, I tried that using Nero & RecordNow Max with no joy.

As you can tell, I'm pretty new to this area of backup so any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

try these things ....

1) convert each album to mp3 (use at least 192kbps), and put them into separate directories on your hard disk. Use Exact Audio Copy to do this.

2) burn them as data files (ISO 2) on Nero ... et voila!

some CD/DVD players don't recognise more than 1 session so best to close the disc.

Nero is not that hard to use ... try the wizard.

Exact audio Copy slightly more tricky but have a go and you'll find out how to do it.

Agreed..

Btw you don't need burning in Iso 2, only some devices need it..
I have a mp3 car player which can display file names only if I burn iso 2, so there should be no probs with iso 1 too for ya :)

Are there any media issues that I should be aware of? I normally use dirt-cheap CD-R for audio backup, will these be sufficient or should I purchase some verbatims etc.

Most MP3/CD players should be more tolerant of CD-R than old CD-DA players - in fact, most ought to have CD-RW support as well.

So, the media that works well for you normally, ought to work for this - but beware of test-reading in the writer, as it may give a false impression of goodness, as writers can often read what they wrote, even if not much else can!

only media you may get problems with is CDRW but this is common with a lot of dvd / mp3 players too :(

should just work with an disk full of mp3s if yer not fussy about track order !?

For the price of cheap blank cdrs you can afford to play about without worry of wasting loads of money until you are happy :)

The easiest way for u would be to do the following
open Nero close wizard and all other windows in nero's menu bar click on Recorder from there choose save tracks and make sure that you are choosing the right drive in which u placed your music cd all tracks will be highlighted and make sure to know where ur saving ur tracks as default nero extacts and encods the files into mp3pro format
at 80 kbs/s which is as good as 128kbs/s normal mp3 and then n just click th go button and make sure that ur drive is capable of digital audio extraction some dvd drives are not so u better put ur cd into ur CD-RW drive and then close nero and open Nero Express take ur mouse over the music it highlights choose mp3 disc and then drag an drop ur files hopfuly helped u ... with EAC you have to extract the files as wav files and then convert them to mp3 with Easy Cd-Da convertor
which uses LAME ENCODER
