I am using wav mp3 converter. I have some mp3 audio files that i wish to conver to wav. But even the smallest mp3 file wont fit on one cd. It shows on nero that it is 90 min and the cd only allows 80 minutes.
I thought, ok, i will break it up into 2 cds but it seems wav mp3 converter doesnt do that. I have searched thru all the options as far as i can tell.
I suspect this prog just doesnt do that.
If that is the case can you suggest a prog that will do what i want it to do, please? Obviously i can get just about any program so it doesnt have to be a free prog, lol, i just dont know the names of good, easy to use progs that will do what i need done.
I have a few more audiobook mp3 files that are even larger that i also want to convert to wav.
The reason i need to stick to cd is so my wife can listed to them while working as she has to move around to different locations in her car and she listens to her cd player while doing so.

thanks for you help.
 
You can download RealPlayer, which will also come with the RealPlayer Converter utility. That will convert different media formats.

Also, you could give Audacity a try, import the MP3 files and cut them to the length you need.

Honestly though, I can't see the point of what you want to do. Any decent CD-burning program, like Nero, will convert song-length mp3s to wav format when you burn them; and digital MP3 players are cheap and way more convenient than a CD player.

You say you have several even larger audiobook files that you want to convert. Depending on how long they are, do you realize that you could spend actually quite a bit on CDs, when for as little as $40 you can get an mp3 player to put them on without all the hassle?

Just trying to help you out a little here.
 
Thanks for your reply. I will check out audacity and realplayer. Realplayer used to be one to be wary of and stay away from, guess things have changed?

As for Nero, when i go to burn it says that its past 80 minutes so i wont get the whole audio file, just the first 80 minutes, no good of course. Maybe i should try to burn it as a data file instead, i dont know?

thanks anyway but i know all about mp3 players, they are great and i have a few of them. In fact these audiobooks came in mp3 format and i put them in the wifes mp3 player but she wants them on cd so she can play them in the car in her cd player, which doesnt play mp3's.Thus i have to convert to wav format. I pointed out that the issue is she wants to hear these files in her car from her cd player so there is no point in pointing out mp3 players.
thanks
 
Okay, I understand. Yes, I know you talked about a CD player, but I wasn't sure if you were talking about a personal CD player, a la walkman, that she carried around with her, or the one in the car stereo.

If the car CD player can handle mp3 CDs, that might be another option to consider. Alternatively, an FM transmitter could be something to look into.

Anyway, hope you find something that works for you.
 
I had this problem a while back, trying to convert mp3 and .wma audiobooks to compact disc.

With the books that had one compressed book chapter per file, they were easy to convert/expand to wav files so that I could pick and choose enough of them to spread them out over multiple CDs. But for those in one huge compressed file that expanded to over 80minutes, I had to take those expanded wavs and break them up into smaller ones with either Audacity or Nero Wave Editor.
 
thanks for the replies.

Can you tell me what that would do? I guess i could also google that.

I have Nero full suite so i will try that.
 
An FM transmitter is something that takes an audio signal, often from the headphone jack of an mp3 player or something similar, and transmits as an FM radio signal, on any frequency you choose; ideally, you'd choose a frequency which wasn't close to any local radio frequencies, in order to avoid jamming. Then, you listen to your audio with the radio, tuned in to the frequency of the transmitter. That's a just very quick and basic run-down.
 
thanks for the reply.
I think i have one of those around here, forgot about it til i read this post.
That should do it but you people have given me other options as well.
Thanks very much
