Burning a cd

[Rob. 10+ year member]

Hi, is it better to burn a cd from a wav. file or from an mp3. file ?

What sounds better ? or does it sound the same ?

The wav. file is a bigger file of course...

What if I convert an mp3 file to wav ? is it better soundingin a car stereo ?

Well if you have the original wav file, might as well use that. Mp3 is converted from wav and when u burn an audio CD, it goes right back but maybe some quality lost. Unless you're actually burning a mp3 CD then you should just choose the mp3 format since it'll save space and you can fit more songs in one CD. But all in all, Wav is superior sounding.

No. Once you compress it, that information is lost permanently.
