what brand was the CD, and what bit rate was the music.

Also, what rate did you burn the cd at? I've heard that the faster you burn a cd, the more sound quality it loses. Don't know if it's true though.

That all depends on where you got the songs to burn the CD from...if you downloaded them from the internet (chances are you did) then that's probably a good reason why it sounds so bad. some people who rip songs **** at it, so either the sound is bad on the song or it just sounds bad

good thing i know how to fix that problem on songs that are fixable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

burning speed has nothing to do with sq. if you downloaded it from the internet that why. i dont know why but 60% of the music on the internet (good or bad birate) is bad qulity due to people dont ripping it right, ripping at wrong freq or birate, and artist are starting to get pissed that people arnt paying for music ne more and are putting crap in there songs to mess up ripping

Its **** near impossible for any burned cd to sound as good as a real cd, but if you burn your cds slow and on quality CD-R's (verbatim, imation, pny, etc) you can come close to good SQ. Try downloading songs that have AT LEAST a 192 bitrate.

yeah, even at 320 you can notice some flaws, depending on the program used to rip the tracks. I've had pretty good luck with music match so far...

Let me put my two cent in lol

it could possibly be your "kbps" if you download mp3s if you have low kbps you have lower quality higher the better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
