I have downloaded from tape, about 60, 90 minute casettes to MP3 in audacity. My intention was to upload them on cd's or dvd'd to play in a cd/mp3 player. The files, after downloading, won't play. After reading on the net, I find I should have downloaded Lame as an encoder before uploading into my computer. The files say mp3 but I cannot get them to play in a mp3 cd player. Is there a way to convert them after the fact or is 100 hours of work down the drain?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

So you successfully saved mp3's with Audacity on your PC's HDD, right? Now
you've burned them to CD disc as mp3's and no go ,is that correct?..
Is your mp3 CD player a car stereo or home sys..Have you ever a played a burned CD with mp3 files with said player? What burning app did you burn them with? What media type???? Need more details, else we're guessing..." Who needs Google, my wife knows everything" -
Audacity only needs Lame to output MP3s. It should load them without it. You would get a request for Lame when you try to save the files in MP3 format. If you already have Lame installed, then you would point Audacity to the Lame folder and .exe.
You can save in WAV format without having Lame installed, but the files will be very large.
Audacity may not handle MP3 VBR files well either. What type of MP3 are you using and what version of Audacity and Lame? -
Also, when you burn to CD, you are not using a preset like "Create Audio CD" are you? Mp3 files must be saved to data CD.
You say nothing about your CD burning software. Plus, you are not clear as to whether the mp3 files will play at all on the PC itself. Did anything show up in Audacity?
You spent a hundred hours on this? It might have been wiser to experiment with a short audio piece first -- you know, to make sure things work -- before committing so much time to the project. -
Hey,at least the OP didn't offer a bounty...Sorry just had to throw that in... :P

I burned with Nero 8 and used the MP3 Jukebox selection. I also tried just burning in Nero Burning Rom and it still won't work. I have burned MP3's in the past to cd and they play in my Lexus. These will play in the computer but won't play in the Lexus.

Are you using the same SW/tools,media, as you did on your previous successful burns?
