I ordered this NASA audio CD from eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NASA-Apoll...53.m2749.l2649
It wont play on my car CD player
My daughter has just taken a look at it and says that the audio has not been recorded as sounds files
Looking at the eBay listing again I see that it states that the CD can be played on a computer or an MP3CD player
None of my laptops have CD players and I don't have an MP3 player
Is there any way I can convert these files on the disc or would it be a matter of downloading them and burning them on to a blank cd?
Is there some other way?
As will be obvious my technical knowledge here is severely limited so any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated!

You can download the audio files from:
https://archive.org/details/nasaaudiocollection
As an example, Apollo 11 has 103 mp3 files or 93 WAV files.
https://archive.org/details/Apollo11Audio/11-03311.mp3
If you had access to a CD burner, you could use the WAV files to construct a CD which could be played on a normal CD player. You would need a lot of CDs though as the total audio length is more than 8 days!
It seems a bit cheeky for the eBay seller to sell a CD containing public domain files they have downloaded.
This couple be the reason they are MP3 (compressed)
I suspected that it was freely available material that had been put on a disc, but as I am unable to do this myself and I wanted it to play on my car CD player I figured that £5 was OK!

That's really good of you - Ive PM'd
Impresume if it's a cd it will be 800mb max
Does your car not play mp3 files ?
Some do, it may just be a matter of copying the files to a USB key.
Unfortunately there is no USB port on the CD player
Do you have a USB port in one of your laptops? If so all you have to do is have someone copy the CD files onto a USB stick so you can listen on the laptop. No good for listening in the car though :(
The files can be played from the website in my earlier post so no need to get the files onto a computer.
Beyond cheeky! They even put a copyright on the face on the disc!

I am obliged to Paul for taking the time to burn these sound files onto 5 CD's
He wouldn't accept any payment for this either
I have made a donation to the fundraiser as a thank you
