Something basic confuses me about this process. If you convert the wav files to mp3s and then burn a CD-R or RW, do you need a CD or DVD player which will specifically read "mp3 CDs" in order to play the burned CD back? Some of the cheaper Sony DVD players don't read that format, according to what I've read. Is this mistaken - I mean can these burned CDs be played back on any equipment, or is it potentially a problem? I think this is on topic.... Thanks for any input.
Methods for transfer of albums to CD
A friend of mine has a very large collection of mint albums, including a beatles import box set, and a franklin mint jazz anthology which includes some fantastic music. I own a computer with a HP cd burner, Roxio Easy CD creator 5 software, but no decent sound card. I was wondering if any of you have had any success at creating good sounding CD's from vinyl, and what equipment I might need. I am sure I need a sound card for the computer with an analog and/or digital input, and one of the add on phono pre-amps, which I would likely use later to add analog to my system. Any suggestions and or experiences, both good and bad, will be appreciated. My current system:
Cary 808 amp, SLP 2002 pre-amp, Theta pro gen and Data, B&W 802 Matrix II, and a Windows 95 based PC with CD burner.
