software to convert mp3 files back normal cd format

Tex

I guess its called cda format or whatever.

I think Nero could do it. May I ask why?

Tex, if you're burning MP3s for the purpose of making a music CD, just let your burning software convert it. The native file format is WAV, but converting an MP3 to WAV will lose something in translation as MP3s are a lossy compression format. CDA is like an index file, not the actual song.

Well maybe not. What you can do is make like if you were doing a normal audio cd (of mp3) and where you choose what cdrom drive you want to burn to, select image recorder. Save the image, open it with Daemon Tools and just drag n drop the files off the image to a folder. But if you just want to make a normal audio cd, then Nero can do that.

No I have a buddy withtwin sons and they have differant brands of mp3 players and one only downloads from stuff in original cd fromat (cda) or something .... So one kid keeps ripping off the other brothers mp3 player cause most their music is in mp3 format not original cd's so one kid has hardly any songs to play on his.... So they need it in original cd format not wav or windows audio or anything else.

What if you used Nero to burn an ISO of an audio CD, and then mounted the ISO with a program like Daemon Tools?

Tex

But I see no option in nero to convert the MP3 files they have into a AUDIO cd WHERE THE SONGS ARE IN THE ORIGINAL FORMAT LIKE YOU WOULD GET WITH A PURCHASED CD. It asks if I want wav or mp3 or some other format.

All they have is MP3's. But one kids software won't dowload songs from MP3's and forces them to have songs in cda only format. I can't see a way to convert them in my nero anyway.

If you create a music CD with Nero it automatically converts the MP3s to "music CD" format, which can then be downloaded to that particular player. CDAs are only about 2K each, and are just index files, not the actual music files.
