‘MP3 to WAV’ Dialog

MPEG Audio is a special tool for reducing the size of audio files. Using the principle of perceptual coding, based on “psychoacoustic masking”, MPEG can substantially reduce the amount of digital information stored without compromising sound quality. MPEG codecs achieve this by suppressing information, which is irrelevant from the perceptual point of view, i.e. information that is filtered by our brain in the course of analysing the perceived sound. At light compression rates (such as 192 Kbs and above for MPEG Layer 3 Audio files) you won’t hear a difference from the uncompressed original!

DART CD-Recorder Basic allows you to convert audio files compressed using the most advanced (and the most efficient) Layer 3 MPEG Audio model to a standard WAVE format. This alows you to translate numerous MPEG audio files available through the World Wide Web (www) to a format accepted by every CD player.

DART CD-Recorder Basic allows you to play and record the MPEG Audio data, i.e. to decompress the encoded sound and save it in a standard wave format.

To record MPEG:

1. Set the recording mode by means of choosing the desired sampling frequency, number of channels and sampling resolution.

2. Select the name of the wave file where the results will be saved.

3. Click OK.
