Re: Media 11 not squashing enough onto disk

you need to make a data CD not an Audio CD... and audio CD will only
let you put 20 or so songs on the CD whereas the DATA CD will let you
put hundreds of songs on the CD... you will only be able to play the
Data CD in a MP3 compatible cd player...

Hi
Audio cds. I am ripping to mp3 and set to the smallest size, which
might not
make Jackson Browne sound that great. In the Burn tab options I have it
set
to reduce to 64K which says I should get 23 hours of music on a CD,
which
would handily put our Jackson Browne collection on one disk with plenty
to
spare. In fact, I could bump the burn rate up to 96k and it still says
that
converts to about 15 hours of music on a cd.But when I start creating
the
burn list, I get the usual 20 songs or so, then it starts building the
next
playlist. Why am I not getting the "15 hours" or so?
Thanks
Phil

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
