Im have burned a Audio CD with downloading Files from mp3sparks (*.wav)
but the Quality from the Audiofiles from CD its bad and with Breaks and
hiss and oversteers.
if I hear by winamp or windowsmedia allways a popup from gracenote.com
with the Message about less Music-ID.
Only the Wav-files from mp3sparks without Burning to CD have a good Quality.
What is this,mp3sparks.com used Copyrigth-Systems now ?

Hi Ponche2008

What software are you using to burn these files? Can you try something else?

Im used Feurio (Feurio! CD Writer) and Exact Audio Copy (Introduction Exact Audio Copy)
and Deep Burner.
Im have burned with Memorex DVD Burner 510 L:
But the Quality its bad (hiss and oversteers)
In the Winamp impossible to hear.Only in the intern Player from the
EAC (Exact Audio Copy) its possible to hear but also with hiss.

Hi Ponche2008

You might try using the free CDBurnerXP Pro from http://cdburnerxp.se/ . Your burner is on their OK list. You could also try the free ExpressBurn from http://nch.com.au/burn/index.html .

I have burned a small (30MB) wav file from Mp3Sparks to Audio-CD with no problem using both of these.

You could also try burning at a lower speed.

Hope this helps

I have only ever used Windows Media Player 10, for Sparks, Sale, Millisong, Fiesta, Lavamus, Golden, never had any problems.

WAV files generally only contain pure audio data, and especially files from MP3Sparks will not contain anything that comes near to copyright control. (By the way, you can save half of your money without losing any audio quality by downloading in a losslessly compressed format and converting that to WAV.)

When music is burned to CD, the result will either be perfect or awful, with 'awful' being as if it was sent through a guitar amplifier with the distortion set to maximum. If it's just with some added noise and a bit of distortion, there's something fishy, as if the distortion was added on purpose. Even more fishy is that you mention MusicID from Gracenote, which is something that is used to identify songs from raw audio. Can you post a screenshot of that popup?

I might be paranoid here, but a possibility is that something on your computer has recognized your downloaded WAV files as "copyrighted material" and intentionally distorts the audio while writing. This sounds like typical RIAA tactics. Have you bought any real CDs with copy control crap on them? It could be possible that you have one of those RIAA rootkits on your system. I would scan your PC with various anti-spyware utilities if I were you.

Hi,

I've got a problem to burn a downloading file in freeformate at 384kbps from alltunes to a audio cd. I used nero to to do it, but it can't work for the file. I wonder if it's not possible to burn this kind of file to an audio cd with any burning software? Does anyone know about it and could give me any helpful advice?

Thanks a lot.
Best,
mi

Hi musicidiot

Very few programs recognise the 384Kbps format and it is best not to use it. I suggest you convert your files to 320K using RazorLame, and then burn them to CD.

Hi gluteus,

Thank you for giving your advice. I shuld have downloaded a file at 320kbps to avoid the problem.

Best,

How does someone do that? Burning a CD of all-WAV files is fast and easy, but getting to that point is the hard part.
