Problem burn MP3s

[Squid_uk]

Hey guys, when trying to make a music cd using nero when loading the files into the playlist i get this error



What would be causing this?

Do you have the Nero MP3 plugin? If you do have it, then it may be a problem with your filenames, too long or unusual characters or spaces.

I tried download the Nero Mega Plugin Pack but from here

Unfortunatley still get the same error, also tried renaming files but that didnt work either

I am assuming you are burning an audio cd (and not a data cd with lots of mp3's on it) .... your problem could be unsupported bitrate and/or sample rate .... check your mp3 files and make sure they have a sample rate of 44.100hz 16 bit (this is the cd standard) also chech the bitrate as most burning apps dont support weird bitrates .... they should be 128, 160, 192, 256, 320kb/s or something similar ... if you see weird bitrates (ie odd numbers etc) such as 197, 239 etc then these are most likely have a vairable bitrate and nero (and other burning apps) wont accept them .... you will need to convert them to a constant bitrate (i reccomend 192kb/s) ... there are lots of tools to do this .. look in the tools section of this site ... personally i use an app called mpeg suite from electronic cosmo ... you can download it here (its a free app) .. http://ec2000.xperiment.net/index.php?id=software

what about goldwave and audacity would they do the same sort of job?

yup ... they should be able to as long as they can open/save as mp3 ... i've not used either so i don't know if they can handle mp3 ... but i would imagine they can
