Do burned CD's play lower than store CD's?

[Dj-torn 10+ year member]

I have a program called Cool Edit Pro, and before i make a cd, i go through and amplify the wave lenght (this makes it louders), then i run a clipping detector and remover, and save the files at a resonable bit rate.

The Nero burning program also allows you to change the volume and the eq of a song prior to recording the cd. I have both programs and just cuz i feel like being nice if you PM me you can get either or both for FREE

....do i have to explain it again.....blank cds have 80 min audio and 700 mb you can use to burn(look on a blank disc). the 700 mb is for "data". the 80 min is for "audio files". if you wanted to burn a mp3 disc with multiple folders, your computer will burn it as data on the blank disc. but if you burn regular mp3's , your computer will use the 80min on the blank cd.....basicly wat im tryin to say is mp3s that are in data format has less quality then a mp3 that is burned regular using the 80 min available on the disc.

80Min = 700MB

700MB = 80Min

When you burn an MP3 CD more songs fit b/c the files are smaller (Regular song 4MB)

When you burn an AUDIO CD Less songs fit b/c the files are LARGER (Regular song 40MB)

How Stuff Works

80Min = 700MB700MB = 80Min

When you burn an MP3 CD more songs fit b/c the files are smaller (Regular song 4MB)

When you burn an AUDIO CD Less songs fit b/c the files are LARGER (Regular song 40MB)

to add to that, the reason they are larger is because they are converted to .cda

Think of .mp3 as the .Jpg of Mp3 Songs and the .cda as the .BMP of audio cds

don't know if that helps you grast the concept,

If he can't grasp that, we can't help him.

I have never downloaded or ripped a song into a compressed format that was as loud or as clear as the original CD. However one thing I have recognized is that the average MP3 you download off the internet is seriously borked compared to same quality MP3 you rip yourself. I've ripped 80Kbps OGG files that are higher quality than 192Kbps MP3s I get off the internet. Kinda sucks like that..

Yeah, I fully understand now. Thanks for the help guys.

use ogg vorbis for the format.

use audiograbber as the ripper.

never fails.

ok. so lets say you burn 80 minutes worth of songs on a regular cd, and then the SAME songs on a mp3 format with 70 more songs all on the same disk. would there be a BIG or ANY difference in sound quality saince the first disk has only 20 tracks on it compared to 90 ?

This thread totally melted my brain.

Burning an Audio CD with MP3s as a source is no different than burning an Audio CD with WAV files as a source, or OGG, or WMV, or anything.

Burning a Data CD with MP3s on it is burning an "mp3 cd," and is the only instance you'll need a HU that plays "MP3" files

Don't think of Audio CDs as having files, think of them as having "Tracks."

Don't think of MP3 CDs as having tracks, think of them as having "Files."

the rule of thumb i use

my mp3's = 320kbit

anything lower and it hurts my ears to listen to it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

( you could always re-encode a 44k mp3 to 320k; besides, isn't 44k cd-quality? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Word: CD quality is 44khz / 1378.125Kbps

READ THE HOW STUFF WORKS LINK UP TOP.

Ripping to OGG provides quality MP3 couldn't hope to achive, but since most portable players and HUs don't have floating point processors, they can't play them back. That's why portable OGG players are few, far between, and pretty expensive. And you can even get bumper stickers that say "my OGG player beat your MP3 player's ***."

WOAH, now let me ask this question.... why does everyone think that MP3's cant sound as good as a "store bought cd"? Do you guys even know what Bit Store bought cd's use? Most likely not. I bet that I can make a Mp3 CD sound just as good as a store bought one. You just have to know where to download HIGH Bit MP3's.

The ONLY exception to this is CDs with more than 80 minutes of music!
