Re: Burning CD's

The disks themselves do not matter, you need to burn the disk as a data disk, not an audio CD to fit that many songs on, burning in audio CD format will only allow 18 to 20 or so songs on the disk. Keep in mind the disk will not be useable in an audio CD player that doesn't support mp3.

Thanks for the reply Carl, I have my settings set for ripping in the MP3
Format when I click on the Rip Tab in WMP. I'm on the options tab while
reading your reply . Yep, It's set on MP3/320kbps. The pane that opened up
said that at that setting it should use about 144 MB per CD . I'm kind of
lost there .All I can tell you about the CD's Im using is that they say 700MB
, CD-R . It doesn't say anything about whether or not it's a Data or Music
disc . I get these discs' from Wally World . I've just read your reply and
went back to my options tab and reset the Rip Settings to 192kbps ,but in the
Burn Pane it's set to the "fastest" burn speed ,Auto Volumn Leveling,in the
Data Disc pane it's set to : WPL , and "do not convert"
Thanks,

160 Kbps Mp3 uses about 1.56 Megabytes per minute. A 3 min 44 sec song is
about 4.29 MB.

A 700 MB CD should hold around 160 such songs.

If you are burning the songs as MP3 to a DATA disk. Not to an Audio Disk.

Are you sure that the songs are MP3?
And you are burning a DATA CD?
