Sorry...I wasn't sure what details anyone would need in order to help me. The file I'm curently trying to work with is a song I downladed from iTunes. It is saved on my laptop in ".m4a" format. The bit rate of the original is 270kbps. I don't know much about bit rates, but my goal is to burn the edited song onto an audio CD. I tried saving the edited version as an mp3, m4a, wma, and wav file, and they all sound just as distorted as the next after I burn them to a CD. The funny thing is that they all sound just fine during playback through the WavePad Sound Editor as well as when I play them back using Windows Media Player. What do you suggest for the format and bit rate to use when saving the edited song in order for it to play as clear as the original after it's burnt to an audio CD?

I'm having trouble figuiring out how to save an edited song to have the same quality as the original I start with. Everytime I edit a song and save it, the sound quality is terrible - there's little to no bass and it sounds very muffled. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
