MP3 CD vs. Regular Burned CD

If you are using the exact same .mp3 files, is there any difference in SQ if you burn a regular, old-fashioned 80 minute CD or a .mp3 CD?

Nope.

You can't bring back what you've lost.

I would imagine that burning the mp3s to a "normal burned cd" would yield more quality loss. You are pretty much reconverting the mp3 files to wav files. A file going through a lossy conversion twice would yield quality loss each step of the way

.cda isn't exactly a format to begin with. It's more of an index. It shows where the data is kept on the cd.

To me it makes no sense to have a nice system and play **** for a source it's like buying a porche and only running it on corn oil whats the fckinpoint.

MP3 CD's have their uses...like on long road trips, I'll throw an MP3 CD in there and listen to 320k MP3's if I don't feel like changing CD's every 45min or so.

But you're right - the difference is very noticeable and would drive me nuts if I had them in all the time.

because i can keep a high bitrate on the mp3's to retain quality, and have all my songs on one cd.

If you guys like the mp3 cds, you should use a mp3player as a source, its tons better, dont have to change the cd at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Get an ipod. I would if I could afford one.

No one is forcing you to download/rip music and burn it to a CD ... If you want the best quality, go buy the CD and stop bitching ...

Why would someone do that when they can just ***** about .mp3's now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I'm still waiting for HUs to support the OGG-Vorbis format. It walks all over MP3 in every way with the exception that noone supports it.
