For all audio files, MP3 and WAV files must be recorded as 16-bit stereo files using a 44.1KHz sampling rate.<BR /><BR />I have downloaded music mp3 files from the Net, and they play perfectly on my PC, but CD-Writer refuses some of them with the above-mentioned error.<BR /><BR />I have an HP 8220e CD-Writer. Is it possible to change the format of the mp3?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><SPAN>P.S.
