Recorded (or thought I did) a friend's interview on a
radio show. Streamed
on Real Player, recorded using CoolEdit2000.
Saved as mp3 (or so I thought).

I went today to burn it to a CD for her and all I have is
loud white noise.
The file is the correct length and quite a large size, but
is either not an
mp3 or has been corrupted somehow.

I'm wondering whether it's possible the information is all
there but I'm
just not accessing it correctly.

I can copy the file and transfer it to a friend's PC which
has Audition on
it if that would help.

I would be very grateful for any help anyone could give
me.
I feel like a right lemon.

Ah yes, I think I know. Open the file again in the original
recording program. Have a look at the properties and se
what format the sound is. e.g it may be 32 bit 96kHz. Now
go to file, save as, and save it as a 128kbpsMP3 or even 16
bit 44.1kHz wav. What it would appear that you have done is
you have it saved as an incompatible format, that's all. If
it's any consolation I have done this to myself as well ;-)

If worse comes to the worse and you cannot solve it you can
put it up on a download site and someone here will offer to
do it for you or if it is small enough, less than 5meg you
can email it. It really depends how sensitive the content
is ;-)
