Awesome, amazing, incredible indie rock comp inside!

In my bedroom I have what I believe may be the very first CD player with CD-Text support (a Sony circa 1997). It will also only display the song title. It does tell you the artist but only for the whole CD, not for individual tracks. My friend has a newer Yamaha CD player that gives you artist info for individual tracks.

Nero and CD Text Manager and HACP all give you the complete CD-Text info as well.
I didn't think I needed to include instructions for basic tasks like burning a CD!

You'd think that hi-dollar CDP would give me a cool feature or two, but noooo.

OK, I'll do it the old fashioned way but I thought this was a high tech venture.

The disc is pretty cool though, and it does have some tracks that are new to me so that's even cooler.

Anyway, Mac users can download and listen using the free Windows Media Player. I can't figure out a way to convert and burn (for free anyway) to an audio CD however. Maybe someone else knows how to convert FROM .wma to something else on a mac. Nice way to share a comp! Would it kill you to use a universal format? FLAC?

A little late to be bumping a thread with a file that can no longer be downloaded but . . .

Duh! The more recent versions of iTunes can convert wma lossless to Apple Lossless. If you haven't updated iTunes in a while do so. I suspect you can also convert them to AIFF or WAV if you set up iTunes to rip in those formats. And of course iTunes can turn an Apple Lossless playlist into an audio CD.

So the next time I do one of these . . .

Hey Slosh, my recent update doesn't list wma as a format but I'll have to find a file to try. But, I'm pretty sure that the wma incompatability is really a fundamental Mac/PC split. Most file converters for the Mac will only support formats that Mac QuickTime supports. And this still does not include wma...on a Mac.

I suspect that iTunes on a PC supports wma because the codec is integrated into the operating system and windows media player. On a Mac, even though you can have Windows Media Player installed, you're system doesn't get to use the wma codec. (I wonder if iTunes for the PC is gonna start sporting that dorky 'Plays for Sure' logo?)

In my searching for file converters, every file converter out there that produced for both platforms, the Mac version had a disclaimer that it would not support wma and would only support formats that QT would support.

Thanks for keeping my hopes up!
