Hi guys i'm looking for a little advice on how to get the best from my set up.

I Pay the full premium price each month for Deezer I find it a little better than Spotify personally and it streams at 320kbs so perfectly acceptable.

I Sync it to my old iphone 3gs and then use An Arcam IRdock into my Nad C370 fuelling Castle Severn speakers as well as running My laptop via a usb soundcard into Dacmagic 2 then into the Nad I'm more than happy with the result but was wondering the best way to put My Deezer tracks onto a high quality cd but in mp3 format so i can put multiple albums on one cd.

I use replay Music Audio Grabber software to lift and burn the deezer tracks and My cd player is a CA Topaz with built in Dac.

So i guess the question is what is the best format for me to burn an mp3 cd with the best audio Quality ?

Thanks

I've never used Deezer...am I right when I say it's a streaming service and you don't actually buy the rights to keep them albums, as you do with say iTunes? If so then I'm pretty sure that what you're proposing would be illegal in the UK and giving you advice on how best to do it could be seen to be aiding and abetting an illegal activity.

I had assumed (wrongly as it turns out) having just read the legal Jargon on the Deezer website, that if i was paying for the premium Subscription That a share of that went to the artist that i could keep a cd as long as it was just for my own personal use.

Still , Out of curiosity I'd be interested to know and it would still apply for legally bought downloads Surely ?

If it was legal, why do you have to use another product Music Adio Grabber to record it? I would say allowing recording as part of the service would be a USP to attract people to buy into the service and so it would be advertised.
