Honestly, these files are ripped files from a game WHICH I OWN, I should add ;-). It's the game music, and there is no soundtrack released. That's the input. I use Nero for CD-burning purposes, and last I tried it only allowed CD-quality wave files to be used. I'll try the rerecording method, though....and on a budget of nothing, my choice of sound editors is limited ;-). BTW--I have a program called Ripper5. It's all in DOS, it's command line-based, and I haven't a clue how to use it! It keeps giving me a runtime error no matter what I do! The readme doesn't tell me how to use it, either! Anyone, perchance, know how the heck Ripper5 works? Thanks for your help! I'll give it a shot! /***************/ > I haven't been messing around much with audio formats but through > experience, you don't have to change the PCM 22,050 Hz, 16 Bit, Mono format > to the CD-quality format IF you want to burn them on CDs as .wav.
