free mp3 burning software?

[Intuit]

Anyone have any suggestions? The software that came with my Dell has expired and only allows me to burn wav files but I want to burn mp3's.
Thanks

You want to burn as a CD-DA (audio CD) or as a data CD (ISO9660, etc)?

Thanks for the suggestions.
Yes Rabbit, I want to burn audio cd's to play in mp3 players. (I miss Vancouver..how ya liking the snow?:)

Hey Kwirky, where are you in the Ok? I used to live in the hills around Vernon/Chase/Falkland and sure miss the area!

doesn't windows media give you the option to burn mp3's?

Have you heard of Windows? I hear it and its Windows Media Player can play music and burn mp3s.

Windows mediaplayer sucks!!!!! I have too many coasters that should have been great music cd's! It won't even burn a wav file cd let alone an mp3. It stalls on certain tracks and just hangs there idle. I can't be bothered trying to 'master the windowsplayer' when there are others out there that work so easily. Why I ask for suggestions is that I want a free one that ppl have used and like. Maybe the stuff I'm trying to burn isn't 'clean' enough for WMP? (songs from p2p sites)

Very simple interface, but it works well.

For audio CDs, I use Exact Audio Copy. I also prefer to decode the MP3s to WAV files manually (Multifrontend + LAME.EXE), since there's less chance of a surprise that way.

Burning FLAC or MP3 data CDs, I use ISO software (such as PowerISO) to build an image first, using ISO9660/Joliet + UDF filesystems. I find Nero places stuff in the order where it appears on your HDD, whereas I want stuff placed in "track order".

edit// Oops, Multifrontend is wrong; it doesn't decode to WAV. Razorlame is what I meant.
