What is the best way to convert from mp3 to wav?
I’ve actually found that the MP3 decoders in CD burning applications can be buggy – the one in Roxio Easy CD Creator has problems, and Nero used to have problems but it seems fine on the recent versions. What used to happen for me was that the software would be unable to handle strange artefacts in the Mp3 file (if they were encoded by a buggy encoder, for example, or were VBR files) and I would end up with lots of incomplete songs being burnt to CD. I always found Winamp with the DiskWriter plugin to be the most efficient way. Very fast, and it was able to decode anything. Using TotalRecorder seems to be just introducing an unnecessary intermediate step (not to mention it costs money).
