14910	2001-07-03 00:36:00	OK this is a newbie question I know. I am looking to get a CD-RW and was wondering if it is possible to burn mp3's (or any other sound file for that matter) from my HD to CD and then play them on the stereo. If I can, does this require special software & should I expect it to come with the CD-RW. Also any recommendations for an 'External' CD-RW, they are SO expensive! Your help would be appreciated thanks.	Guest (0)

You will need to have your MP3s decompressed into WAV files before you can use them on an audio CD. You CD writer may do this on the fly when making the CD. If it doesn't, Winamp will convert MP3s to wave files, just select the output device to be 'disk writer' You will not hear the mp3 play when winamp is set this way, but there will be a WAV file waiting for you after it completes.
