HERES
A PROGRAM you can use to convert all those MP3 files to .WAV
files. In the instructions below, RMC = Right Mouse Click, and
DC = Double-click.
1. Create a work folder to place your MP3 and WAV
files into. Something like TmpForCD on your Desktop
will do. Youll need this folder in Steps 8 and 11 below.
2. Download an MP3 (like from Napster) to your work folder.
3. Start WinAmp. RMC on the face of your WinAmp, choose Options, then choose Preferences.
4. Click on the Input link under Plug-ins, as shown below:
5. Find and DC the Nullsoft
MPEG audio decoder plug-in v2.28 (x86) (IN_MP3.DLL)
6. This box will pop up:
7. On the General tab, make sure
the Layer I, II, and III boxes are all checked.
8. On the Streaming tab, turn on the box Save files to:
and navigate to your Working folder you made in Step #1. Click
OK to close the MPEG audio decoder settings box.
9. Click on Output from the Plug-ins
list. DC on Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in v1.0 (x86) (out_disk.dll)
as shown below:
10. When you DC, the following window
pops up:
11. Navigate to the folder you made
in Step #1. Say OK, then CLOSE out of the WinAmp Preferences
box.
12. RMC on the face of your WinAmp again. Choose Play File
13. DC the MP3 you want converted. WinAmp will play the song silently
and quickly, converting it to WAV. Your work folder will now
have TWO copies of that file: one is the original MP3 and the
other is the WAV.
14. Exit WinAmp.
15. Youre now ready to burn the WAV file onto
a CD-R disc.
WARNING! Dont forget to change your WinAmp in Step #9 back
to Nullsoft waveOut plug-in v2.02 (x86) (out_wave.dll)
or youll be converting every song you play in WinAmp!! Since WAV files are absolutely HUGE,
youll fill your hard drive up in no time!!
