Convert MP3 player recording (8kHz) to Audio CD?

mary710

Newbie asks: How do I make an audio CD from a recording by my inexpensive MP3 player?

I have an inexpensive MP3 player that lets me record sound with a sampling rate of 8 kHz which I can play on my computer in a WAV format. I realize that this will be low quality due to the sampling rate, but it does play on my computer speakers and sounds pretty good. (I am recording singing from a small choir.) All I want to do is burn an audio CD so other people in the choir can hear how we sound.

Windows Media player plays the recording, but can't burn it to an audio CD. The free program, Audacity, gives me a promp to Import RAW but I have no idea what options to click on. I am very new to this and would like some help. I read some of the tutorials but if someone could give me some guidance as to what sections to read, that would be a great help!

Another Question: If I am going to record music from choirs and soloists on a regular basis and make audio CDs, what portable equipment should I use? (I can ask in another post...)

If this music can play on my computer and is already in an uncompressed WAV format, shouldn't it be easy to burn an audio CD? Am I missing something?

Main Question: How can I convert my uncompressed WAV recordings with a sampling rate of 8kHz onto an audio CD?

Thanks in advance,
Mary

Well err, i think you need to resample them at 44.1 KHz stereo, but can't Nero do that automatically for you when you select to write an Audio CD?

As far as what you might want to consider for recording in the future, the Edirol R-09 is a fantastic little recorder for around $400 with built in high quality stereo microphones. It records 44.1K WAV files as well as in MP3 format should you wish to do that. This is one of the finest recorders you can get, and it's small too.
