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.

incidentally, how did you record the playing stream into Cool Edit? Did you
take a lead from the sound card output and back into the line input of your
PC or did you use some feature of CE that I didn't know about similar to
Total Recorder? From memory CEP ACTUALLY records in PCM and saves to MP3
(or whatever you chose) when you exit.

When Cool Edit Pro/Audition works with MP3s, they first decode them into PCM
files in the temp folder then when you've finished working, they re-encode
them to MP3.
