Mp3's sound amazingly good this guy is clueless. Download the songs at the highest bitrate you can which is 320. Then record onto a gold disc. If you play them for freinds I bet they will never know which is the mp3 or not. Oh yeah in case you don't know you have to convert them to a wav file first. But I'm sorry I don't know how many times you can record over cd-rw before you start noticing a loss of sound quality. but why worry about it there pretty dang cheap. You can afford to use them a few times and then just chuck em.
CD-R's vs. CD-RW's
Does anyone have experience with sound quality loss from multiple overwrites onto CD-RW's? Will be downloading music files from the web onto CD-RW's, then play them on a good CD player to make recordings on a DAT machine. Would then use same CD-RW to start process all over again. Do not want to build a collection of CD's.
