Digital Recordings to CD
2 Answers
I have a number of interviews conducted on a digital redorder, which I wish to transfer to CD. They are stored as WMA files, I would like to convert them to MP3's to transfer to CD for storage - can anyone advise some nice simple free software I can download please?
Also, all the interviews play on my recorder loudpseaker, but when I plug into my PC, some of them have no sound - why would this be, and will the transfer to MP3 be audible?
Thanks.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you want them as normal audio CD's then windows media player will create the CD direct from WMAs with no extra software.
If you want them as the data file on a data CD then http://www.formatoz.com/ will let you convert them, although I can't see many problems with keeping them as WMAs and burning them onto the CD, WMA is pretty well supported on all formats now.
I'd guess that the ones that don't play have a strange bitrate or codac of some sort, format factory might sort this out, try it on one and see... If it doesn't then you may have to download something to analyse the file to see what codecs and bitrates it is.
