MP3 to what?

[Jiffy]

i just converted disc 1 of war of the worlds from a cd to mp3 using windows media player then to 16 bit wav using freemake audio converter then burnt on a disc using nero ..then playing on my 1200 using amigaamp ..computers ..amazing things

Wait... You did whát?!? Why would you convert a cd to mp3 (=losing quality) and then back to cd?

I can understand you want to make a copy of a cd, but then simply make a 1:1 copy of it. MP3 is an ok (but not great) format for many purposes, but as it is a lossy format you always get a lesser quality compared to the original. Because of that, you should never use mp3 as a source again, which in your case you did by making a new audio cd by converting mp3 to 16 bit wav.

What you should have done: rip the original cd to 16 bit wav, burn a new cd using the wav-files. Skip the conversion to mp3. Or make a direct 1:1 copy of the original cd. The end result will be the same in both cases.

Or use an audio CD file system

put on cd just cause there big files...did transfer to harddrive flash drive ..a little faster but until i add a 32 gig card  not enuff room ...wow  ..4 gig drive on an amiga an im still running out of room ..havent  tried playing from usb thought would be slow..
dont  normally play music on 1200 ..got a tv next to it an a dvd an cd32 player on the other side  ..normally watch a movie on the dvd player while foxtel is on the tv an just playin with the 1200 in the middle..an the computer online in the lounge room  ..thats why i want to put the 1200 on a network to my pc ..yet to work that out..

Hmm. I doubt there would be much human perceivable difference once 16bit is converted to 8 bit be it from CDA or MP3. Especially if the MP3s were variable bit or 256bit+.  8 Bit is 'gonna be the lowest common denominator.

Indeed, but why bother converting anything if you can play the CD using an audio CD file system and something like Hippo Player?

"Yep this is what I do and the Cybersound 14-bit calibration tool made my 14bit AHI playback so much better"

After the calibration tool is done what did you do with the calibration file? Inport it in the AHI prefs?

I think it goes in env, doesn't it say in the readme file?

I think Jens already tried that, it's called the Delfina Flipper and it was a flipping disaster

Delfina is designed by petsoft from finland, jens is nothing to do at least on the original one.
