193867 2003-11-22 09:17:00 Hi...I have converted an mp3 file to wav with CDex and it seems to be fine played on my computer in Winamp. I want to burn this to a cd-r disk and have it auto start when inserted and also run on stand alone cd players. But when I did this last night the cd player didn't recognise the file and nor did the dvd player. I copied and pasted the wav file from the HD to the burner using Direct CD and finalised the disk, but I think there is more to the job than that. Thanks for any tips...K paradox (1082)
193868 2003-11-22 10:18:00 Did you burn it as an Audio disk?

If using Nero, just create an Audio disk and drag and drop the .mp3

Nero will convert it to a normal Audio track for playing on a Stereo. Dont copy and paste, you will not be getting the lead-in track data.

Burn's the Audio track as the first "part" of the CD, and Data as the "Second" part - To play on your PC.

You'll need to create an autorun.ini file that'll load the .wav file and play it in the users default media player.

Hope this helps


Chill.
