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

[Guest 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?

[Guest 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).

[Guest Secretss]

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?

Edit: Recent versions of CDBurnerXP need to use http://us.un4seen.com/files/bass24.zip

[Guest Secretss]

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

[Guest timmeh]

[Guest David12]

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

Thanks

[floele]

Licencing issues. It's a pity.

[LifeTime]

[Guest chip47]

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

any ideas for this error? i tried teh base.dll and i got an erro when starting the app a crash and then the same old invalid format error

[floele]

For the latest version, you have to use BASS 2.4, that is http://us.un4seen.com/files/bass24.zip

Do not work. Just installed the newest available version in german. Download the bass.dll & replace it. Error still exsits

I'm very frustrated because in prev. version of cd burner it works so fine

May to solve the problem for a release in the next time?!

[floele]

Please send me the file. It should work, and if it does not, there might be something wrong with the file.

[Guest derhecht]

It is just a normal mp3-file. And as I say the same file works with an older version of cd burner xp. So the file is fine but something is wrong with cd burner xp...

[floele]

Well, if you don't send me a file, I cannot look into the problem.

[Guest anton]

Hi,

yes the BASS.DLL vers. 2.3 is needed. But in Directory "Windows\System32\BASS.DLL" vers. 2.3.0.2, it is there! Is it a bug, sorry? Hope on a patch no the next days.

But the burner is great!

Thank you for the fine Burner
