Mp3 to Cd's

Hey guys, I'm wanting to put some mp3 files on a CD. I'd like them to play as an audio CD, not just a disk with saved data.

I realized that \".cda\" isn't exactly a format and in that, dropping an mp3 into an audio format makes the entire mp3 one track. Now, with regualar music this isn't an issue.

However, I'm wanting to convert a seminar (25 minutes in length) to audio format with multiple tracks. I'm guessing that's going to take some work. I just don't know exactly how much.

What are your software recommendations? free or otherwise (preferably not pirated ;) )

Thanks!

you'd have to edit the mp3 in question into multiple tracks, something like audacity will do it.
then you can burn it with cdburnerxp.

that being said, mp3 players are cheap...

An alternative for burning it would be foobar2000, it has a plugin for burning audio cds.

Thanks guys.

Appreciate the help. Audacity looks interesting as does foobar. Getting both.

Where mp3 players are concerned. Yeah, I know they're cheap, but these are for my wife who is mostly blind and operating a mp3 player is a bit daunting for her. CD's are much easier to manage.

otherwise, I'd be just saving them off to a hard copy for safe keeping. I do most my media. I don't trust a HD to fail w/o warning. That's happened once and I don't care to go through that again.

Thanks again guys, I'm pretty sure that's what I need!
