Ok, here is the deal, I have copied several cds onto my computer and sold the cds. The files are Windows Media Files. My burning program does not locate them to burn as audio files.

I want them to be mp3's or wav files, any way to convert these? I am so confused.

I know I need a Mac, so don't bother. I have changed to music match now but what can I do with these files on my computer?

any help

I could help...

...but I won't.

Windows media files are designed so they can't be copied. Sorry. I think your gonna have to put a line in cable from your PC into another PC!

Orgers may wish to edit their above posts!

so i did put 4 cds worth onto one cd as data files but they are still wmf. still screwed?

I think so. U need to get the CDs back and save them using a different program. May I recomend Audio cleaning lab delux 3.

Erm... you aren't trying to burn them as CD audio right? You just want to back up your .wmf files, no? What is the problem? There is nothing stopping from taking a file of any type and burning it to a CD, unless you are not using your CD writer software correctly. What software are you using? Nero? Easy CD Creator?

There should be no need to convert them to .wav or .mp3 formats (such further compression will degrade the quality even further).

What you should have done, of course, is just done a proper CD audio backup of your CDs. Considering a blank CDR costs about 20p, it is hardly an expensive solution.

Windows Media files burn to CD just fine. In fact you can do this right within Windows Media Player itself if you're running the lates version. Also, like Ian mentioned, the latest versions of Nero and Easy CD Creator burn Windows Media files too.

If you MUST convert the files, convert them to an uncompresed WAV to avoid losing any sound quality. However, this will take up alot of space (about 700 or so MB per CDs worth of music).
