Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can convert mp3 and wma files to wav so I can burn them onto an audio cd. Does windows xp have a feature to do this that I don't know about?
Thank you in advance.

windows converts the files to cda before burning them to an audio cd.

oh sweet! Thank you.
So if I just copy the files using windows explorer and send them to the d drive, before it burns them on the cd, it'll automatically convert them?
Thank you. I feel like an idiot, lol.

Rats kinda right.
You can burn a cd in windows media player, and it will convert the files into the correct format.
But, if you send a bunch of mp3's using the send to feature, it won't convert them, because that is used for burning data cd's.
Hth, BEN.

yes. i love nero burning rom, and i believe you can download a 15 or 30 day trial, i'm not sure how long it lasts.
