CD burn software

Hi,

I would very much appreciate some help.

Trying to copy a CD ,

Realplayer does it but it is in MP3 format

Need to replay the CD on an old stereo deck and it does not play MP3.

Which software can I download which will copy it in simple format ?

I saw few software on cnet.com . Not sure which one is best and free.

My OS is XP Pro. and

Drive : Sony DVD RW AW-G170A

Thanks

JM

Hi 12eason,

I have now downloaded the software : imburn.

I have saved the content of audio cd on my pc. Managed to copy the audio file to a CD-RW Compact disc Rewritable.

Tried it out.

It re-plays on a PC and also on a DVD player.

Unfortunately, it does not play on my stereo or radio cassette which do not accept MP3.

What do I have to do to copy in simple audio format.

Thanks

JM

Firstly, make sure you do CD->image then image->CD-R. Secondly, some CD players have trouble with CD-RW, use a CD-R.

Why do people keep recommending ImgBurn? it sucks if all you want do is copy a cd. With imgBurn you have to copy the disk to an image file then burn it to a cdr. Most CD writing apps do this automatically with just a single click. Personally i prefer CDBurnerXP, it does everything imgBurn does + it has a cool button that with one click copies a cd

gah any way here is how to copy your audio cd with imgBurn:

1) insert your audio cd. Close any app that starts to play it.
2) start imgburn then click 'create image from disk'
3) select the drive that has the disk
4) now click the little folder icon next to 'please select a file', in the dialog name the file 'audio.bin' and save it to your desktop
5) click the green arrow, it should now start to copy the disk to a file. it will take awhile depending on how fast your drive is. By the way i found imgBurn to be incredibly slow, much more than any other app i have used. Go make your self a bacon buttie or something while it does its thing yes it really can take that long.

once this is done and played it's little tune:
1) click Mode -> Write from the menu.
2) insert your blank cdr/w
3) click the folder icon next to 'please select a file' and select the file you created 'audio.cue'
4) click the green arrow and it should begin writing the disk.

you should now have a duplicate audio cd that will play in a normal cd player.

Because it's free of bloat and it verifies.

Hi Commandergc,

Thanks for the instructions.

I have followed them step by step.

I now have the CD which again plays on my TV DVD player and also the PC.

On my ordinary old radio cassette it says ' No disc '.
And on the Stereo deck it recognises number of tracks, but then, when I try to play it, it makes an odd clicking sound and does not play the CD.

I'll try out your other CD burner you kindly mentioned later on.

btw, my original Cd plays on the radio cassette and the stereo deck.

So I thought it would make the same mirror copy !

Thank you for the help.
