Burning Music CDs

5 posts
  1. I admit that I have not entered this century, no cell phone or ipods and this doesn't pertain to film. Question, I was given some MP 3 music files onto my laptop that I would just like to burn to CD and get rid of. (Some very old Pink Floyd) Since burning discs in iTunes is so easy, I thought I would do it there. However, I am unsure of the Mp3 quality. Do I need to first export and transcode each cut to AIFF 44.1k on each album separately? Is there any point in the first place since mp3 is not known for its high audio quality. Since that is all I have, maybe exporting as aiff would serve no purpose.

    Thanks for the suggestions

    Itunes will transcode everything on the fly, just burn it. You can't get "extra" quality out of mp3's by transcoding it to a lossless format first, so there's no special steps you need to take, just make your playlist and click the burn button.

  5. mp3 is high quality. The only way it is not high quality if someone ripped it.

     

    And that would never happen!
