Re: Media 11 not squashing enough onto disk

Are you trying to create an Audio CD or Data CD? If burning an Audio CD (the
opposite process of ripping) then 20 songs is about the right range since
this format is not compressed and there is only room on a CD for about 60-80
minutes of music. When you burn the songs in MP3 or WMA format (Data CD)
you can fit hundreds of songs onto a CD.

FWIW, 64k is a pretty low setting for good quality sound. If using MP3s that
bitrate would be great for audio books but lousy for music. Whether ripping
to MP3 or WMA, the higher the bitrate you use the better the quality of
sound reproduction.

Hi
According to the rip and burn settings in Media 11, I should be able to
get
up to 15 hours of music onto a single CD, according to the settings I
chose.
In burn I set it for 64k. on the Rip tab I selected smallest size. But
when I
come to put the songs into the Create Burn list, I get about 20 songs (as
usual) and then it starts bulding the next burn list.
HOw can I tell the stupid machine to put about 15 albums worth into one
burn
list please?
I thank you for your time.
Phil
