Whenever I burn wma files to a cd why is it that it reads the lenght of the song and not the size of the file. In other words, on a typical 800 mb disc, I can only fit about 80 songs because the disc is for 80 minutes; however if I do the same using for example Itunes and MP3 files, I can fit 130 to 150 songs depending on the size. Can the wma files be compressed in the same way that MP3 are? I know this is probably a dumb questions, but I am kinda new to the digital music arena.

Thanks

Because you're burning an AUDIO CD, not a data CD. Change the type of CD that you're burning. It's all explained in the help file under the CD burning topic.
