I know I've probably read about this on this forum at one point or another, but I searched and searched and have found nothing. Here's the problem... I have some mono WAV files that I want burned to an audio CD. It seems no burning program will accept them, so I guess I have to duplicate the mono channel to stereo to get it to work. What program can do this easily, preferably automatically? I can't even seem to do this manually in Audacity...the option to "make stereo track" is grayed out.

as always, foobar2000 does the trick
Just convert to WAV with "Convert mono to stereo" enabled in DSP Manager.

foobar2000 can do this via the converter.

Load your file(s) into a playlist and select, right-click > Convert > Convert to...;

Select WAV from Encoding Preset pulldown;

Select DSP Processing, add "Convert Mono to Stereo" to Active DSPs;

Convert.

I'm surprised that your burning apps won't handle mono files automatically. Have you tried using Burrrn?

Thanks (to both responses), I thought there must be a way in Foobar. I guess I just wasn't looking hard enough.


Actually, Burrrn was the first program I tried using. I was pretty dissappointed that it didn't work, because it usually handles any filetype I throw at it.
