Thank you for all your feedback. The mp3 format isn't a universal format for
most cd players. Although I did record the music to mp3 format, Nero Express
actually answered the above question for me. It automatically converted the
mp3 format to a format suitable for play in common cd players. I now have an
old Platters album converted to mp3 and then converted to whatever when Nero
Express burned the cd. I tested the cd in several non-mp3 players and it
sounds great. I was amazed at how easy it was to backup my valuable vinyl.
Thanks again,
Kevin Nowicki
