MP3 to AudioCD: The audio file has an invalid format.

[Secretss]

I'm trying to create an audio cd with mp3 files. I get the "The audio file has an invalid format" error for every single mp3 file. I can't even play the mp3 files in the integrated audio player. However, everything works fine with wma files.

My Windows Media Player is currently version 11.0.6001.7000, which is the latest version according to Wikipedia. I've even downloaded wmpdist.exe and executed it (but nothing happens).

I'm using Windows Vista, does it make a difference? I've only just installed CDBurnerXP, particularly for this burn project.

I hope you're able to help with this, thank you very much.

Maybe you've got DRM protected files?

[Secretss]

I don't think so.. Most of them are ripped from audio cds but nothing's shown under "Protected" in windows explorer. Some of them are audio ripped from youtube videos and converted to mp3, and some of them are recordings made in wav and converted to mp3. None of them work. I've tried restarting the computer and that doesn't help either.

Hm, could you possibly send me just one of the files for having a look at them? I'm still not sure whether there is something wrong with your system or your files (the latter would indicate a bug in CDBurnerXP).

Hi, I'm so sorry for the delay in response.

I've uploaded a song of minimal file size here.

Thank you very much!

The file is fine. Does anything change if you replace the bass.dll in the CDBurnerXP program directory with the one from http://us.un4seen.com/files/bass23.zip ?

[Secretss]

Awesome, it works fine now! Thank you so much! =D

Nice one also fixed mine on Windows Server 2008.

Thanks very much!

Dude, this also solved my problem and it was driving me crazy. Why don´t you put in in the next release?

Thanks

[Flo]

Licencing issues. It's a pity.

[LifeTime]

Thanks! I also had the same problem.

so great! worked for me too! I chose the one in the "mp3-free" folder.

This worked for me too! By the way, the link was broken but I've located the new one for those behind me.
