BURNING SONGS ON CD

I tried to burn the songs we got through 3rdeye girl (website and youtube account) and I had problems with the songs "something in the water" and "octopus garden". it seems to be impossible to burn those on CD. Are they protected in any way ?

All of the files put up for official sale (3EG, iTunes, Amazon) are all burnable. No DRM. They're various MP3, WAV, and AAC files.

.

I'd take a look at any of the "free" songs you're trying to burn (SoundCloud, YouTube, LiveStream, etc). My guess is one of those formats is giving you trouble.

I think the bitrate on those particular files is larger than what a cd can handle. I think you need to convert those wave files into standard wave files to burn them.

I had to first convert Octopus Heart and Menstrual Cycle to wav (the same way I convert flac to wav) before I could burn a CD even though they were downloaded from Soundcloud in wav....

Hmmm...don't understand it, but when I converted them I could burn a CD.

The wav files for Octopus Heart, Menstrual Cycle, and Something in the water are 24 bit. They would need to be converted to 16 bit to burn to a CD.

The official stuff as WAV maxes out at 1411kbps. It must be the other files, although I highly doubt anything you grabbed off YouTube or SoundCloud is high-definition audio. Most likely it's a format issue.

Nevermind, see above.
