    Hey Guys,

    Okay, this is a bit of a weird one!
    I lost my hard drive recently resulting in data loss (mp3's) :(
    I had a lot of these mp3's burnt to Audio cd's which I still have.
    I want to get these Audio cd's back on to my PC as mp3's but figure I'll loose a lot of quality/clarity if I re-compress them again.

    Is there any software out there that maybe able to re-convert these without loosing to much quality?

    Or does anybody have any other advice?

    All help much appreciated,

    Thanks!
    :confused:

    Sorry, but I'm not clear on the details of what you're asking. Did you burn the MP3s directly to the CDs? If so, then you should be able to copy them back to your PC without compressing them any further.

    Yes, they were burn't via nero to Audio cds (Not data)
    So as far as I know the info gets converted to text (.cda) and an uncompressed (.wav) file?

    If I re-extract the audio (.wav) and copy to mp3 lets say at 192k I would have compressed them twice as they were already compressed before burning them to the audio cd?

    Am I gettting this ball's up?

    Cheers

    Why not just fetch the original audo discs instead of using your Backup MP3 discs?

    Well if you had them tagged(named) and burned these tags(names) onto the cd, its just a matter of ripping them to the pc like any other audio cd.

    If not then your best of getting the original cd or find a lot of spare time to rip and tag(name) them.

    Mediamonkey is excellent for ripping and reading the tags(names) and adding them if needed.
