Do any of you guys know of a good one that's free to use, looked everywere and can't seem to find one.

Thought .cda was not a file type...but an extension for cd tracks... if you use something like NERO and create an audio CD drag the MP3 files to the compilation it will create a cd with cda files.

or free software that does the job well

there's a lot of free software out there.... it says free but it only converts 1/2 the track... you need to get lucky to find a FREE one ;/

I tried that mate using Deepburner, but it just burns them as mp3 lol god this is frustrating, and your right about cda not being a file type.

ok with cd burner xp.... fire it up ...click on audio cd.... in the window at the top left browse to the folder you want.... on the right drag the mp3's to the bottom window... it shows the remaining size at the bottom... then click burn ...middle left....

That should be all there is to it !!

This should explain easier

I use CDex to convert the mp3 to WAV then burn an audio CD as normal. It's freeware and I've used it for more years than I care to remember. http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

Another option is to use windows media player to burn audio cds.

That was going to be my suggestion, but you and I have to realise that people do not want a simple piece of software that already sits on their PC. They want the joy of finding and downloading something that they then have to learn how to use. And the more obscure and arcane it is the better. It also has to be free.

Me, I go for the simple life. Until the simple tools aren't up to the job, which may be the case here. Hard to tell given the skimpy information on offer.

For example, with some software there can be problems creating gapless audio CDs from mp3 files. This doesn't usually matter if you only want to burn things that come in tracks. But try burning an opera where each act may have 30 mp3 files. You don't want gaps anywhere near the CD.
