I want to do something primitive: MP3 to CDA

    I've got these music files I bought from iTunes, Connect etc. And making a data disk is no problem, but I'd like to make an audio CD I can play in a regular CD player, and that seems to be a problem.

    iTunes and Connect each offer their own proprietary solutions that convert and burn their own files to disk, but neither recognizes the files created by the other. It seems stupid to have to burn two different CD-RWs and then burn a single disc combining those. I usually burn CDs with Nero, but it won't add these download files to an audio CD, unless they've already been converted.

    Does anyone know of a program, preferably free, that converts MP3 to CDA? Thanks.

    It sounds like they have the torrid DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection on them. These files are a pain in the ass and i'm not too sure if there is a way to remove the protection.

    Also, if you do manage to find a way to remove the DRM and still want to burn the files to cd then there's no need to convert the files to .CDA . Just make an audio cd with Nero and Nero automatically converts the files to PCM audio which 98% of cd players can read.
