Why do my MP3's of the Opie & Anthony Show sound okay
when I play them on my computer (24 bit rate) but sound crappy when I burn them (with Roxio 5) and play them on my CD player?
The lower the bitrate, the lower the quality sound m8. Can you record these files digitally with your sound card? I rip& encode my waves at 192 VBR using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with Lame MP3 Encoder :)

The files are pretty long (3 to 4 hours). I don't want to have to record them through my sound card in real time.
I don't understand...Why do these 24 bit rate files sound okay when I play them on my computer, but when I burn them onto CD, they sound crappy.
Is that my only option? I realize the lower the bit rate the suckier the quality (real technical, right?), but why does the quality diminish when I burn them using Roxio?
Well I don't endorse transcoding, but 24 bit audio encoding is pretty low m8. Most people who encode just "voice" usually go 128. I would try one and encode digitally at 192 VBR using Lame MP3 Encoder and see if you really can tell a "significant" differance in audio quality.
