Journal miguelitof's Journal: MP3-to-CD
My favorite process to convert songs from MP3 for burning onto CD:
Use lame to decode the files:
lame --decode song.mp3
On the rare occasions that lame doesn't work, I use FreeAmp's WaveOut plugin to convert the MP3.
Once all of the MP3's have been converted to WAV, normalize all of the WAV files in that directory:
normalize -m *.wav
The files are then ready to be burned to CD.
