Ok guys, I am calling help from all you audiophiles !
I have converted my Record collection using a Soundlab Pro USB turn table.
The Software used is Audacity, which seems to do a reasonable job, but the output is a WAV File.
Here is a pic of the info for one of my tracks.
As you can see, I have recorded it in high quality which has resulted in a file that is some 349 MB
Now, I want to burn CD's of my records and Nero et al doesn't accept the WAV format, so I decided to convert the WAV file to MP3 for ease of use and also makes them alightly smaller (50%)
This is where the nightmare begins.
I found some free ones WAV-MP3 Convertors on the interenet, but they only convert 60% of the track for a "trial".
So I paid £15 for Smart Audio convertor

The output is an MP3, but when you play it in any player (WinAmp, Windows MEdia Player) all that happens is that upon clicking Play, you hear a click and then nothing.
however the time bar of the track increases as though it is playing but no sound.
I have of course contacted the support of Smart Audio converter, but they asked to upload my WAV File....unfortunately after an hour I gave up....it is HUGE.
Any advice what to do now?
Have I recorded the WAV file in too high a quality for any convertor to be able to process the file??
Feeling really bad now as I have shelled out all this money (Soundlab Pro Turn table, WAV converter) and still I can't burn CD's of me old fav tunes on Vinyl
