bad sound

Use "Exact Audio Copy" (EAC) to rip your CD's - as long as they are not badly scratched it's the best quality ripper available and it's free http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

Create a new folder and rip a couple of tracks (as wav files) into it. EAC rips as 44.1kHz 16 bit (the native format for CDs).
Now open the WalMart track in Audacity (with the default quality set to 44.1kHz 16 bit)
Make sure that it shows up as a stereo track.
EXPORT the track from Audacity as a wav file into the new folder with the tracks that you have just ripped.

Now you have a folder with several tracks and they all have exactly the same format. You should be able to play all of them with Windows Media Player.

Now use these tracks to make your slide show (encoding them as MP3s if you need to).

If you follow this exactly, there are only two possible outcomes - either they will all be garbled, or they will all work. Let's hope it's the latter.

OK, holdays are over and I'm back. Tried the above. Burned to dvd and same problem. DL still garbled but other tracks are fine. Looks like I'll just drop the dl track. Wasting way too much time!!

Unless you can upload the track somewhere and post a link so we can look at it I guess we'll never know.
