How do I convert my MP3 and Wav files to CD-DA format?
First you'll need to determine whether your current software will convert from either MP3 or WAV to CD-DA format. Most pre-mastering software will convert WAV files into CD-DA format automatically. This is true as long as the software is set to create an audio disc and not a data disc.
Some pre-mastering software has the ability to decode MP3 into CD-DA fomat on the fly. This means you won't need any additional software to convert MP3s to listen to them on your stereo. If your software is unable to convert MP3s to CD-DA, you will need to search the Internet for decoder software. This will allow you to convert an audio track or song from MP3 to Wav. You will then be able to record the Wav file from your computer to a CD using the recording software.
Please record responsibly. Before copying anything onto a CD-R or CD-RW disc, please be sure you are not violating Copyright laws. Most software companies allow you to make a back up or archive copy of software. Check your software license agreement for specific details.
