I have been experimenting with burning mp3's, after burning and playing in my dvd player(Panasonic DVD RA 60)the sound is naturally compressed but also it sounds as though it has dropouts like a tape would. It sounds bad. I have tried all types of bitrates/slower speeds, etc. I am using Alto MP3 maker(latest version)to convert and Nero 6(6.0.0.19)to do the burning. I've searched the forums on this particular topic and found nothing regarding this 'sound quality' issue. Alto uses LAME, the latest version I believe. Question is, is Nero to blame here or something else I overlooked/forgot to set, etc. I am using Imation cdrw media since I am still testing. Burner is TDK 4800B with latest firmware. Of course WAV files sound perfect when burned but mp3's are quite another matter.
