in need of help...
How do you actually transfer files from audio cd to mp3 so that they can be uploaded on nowhere.com? Already registered, using CDex and just can't quite get my files to upload. I keep receiving a message stating that the files I converted from ".wav to .mp3" are not MP3 files??????. I have no idea what is going on and would love to get my music posted for feedback. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Files on commercial CD's are usually the .CDA file format...not .WAV

Try DB Power Amp....it's a free audio file converter....works great....

It will transfer .CDA to .MP3 or .WAV and vise verca....

BTW...you should have your .MP3 files at 128 kbps for NoWhere...I beleive Waldo has a bit rate limit associated with file usage on the site...

Take it easy,

I used CDex too. It works great with the LAME encoder. Ripping a cd or converting a .wav to an .mp3 is pretty intuitive. The only thing you need to make sure you do is go into the setup area and pick your settings. I usually encode at 192 kbps, but it has all kinds of options there. I'm not sure why you are having a problem.

If you are ripping from an audio cd it should be just as easy as inserting the cd in your cdrom drive and then opening up CDex. It should automatically detect the cd in there and bring up the tracks that you can choose for ripping to mp3. They will be placed by default (depending on your OS) C:\mydocuments\mp3\ (I think & XP may throw in a couple more folders between C & mydocuments).

I don't know if this helps, but CDex should be pretty easy to use.

BTW CDex also converts from .mp3 to .wav .
