[need2burn]

1st time here, peoples so go easy on me. Can this program burn/record live strean from any source on the net. if so, i have been attempting to do this for the past few days now with no success. if not Im attempting to convert a 20 kbits file off the net and turn it into at least CD quality, it says it has converted to Cd quality when i convert or 320 kbits, but when i burn it off to a CD and play in my Cd player it still sounds like its 20kbts. any ideas?????

it is not possible to increase the quality of an audio file, especially not to the magnitude you want. if you save the file with a higher bit rate that doesn't really do much, all it does is takes the existing low-quality 20kbit file and "maps" it out to a 320kbit file of the same quality. it cannot produce the required extra high quality information because it simply does not exist. you could probably imagine a higher quality version of the audio in your head, but a computer is nowhere near as smart as the human brain when it comes to something like this.
