About 700mb/80min CDRs

[minimalistik]

Hey Guys,

Always been burning songs as per normal but i was wondering if you can somehow fit more songs that an average of 15 or so tracks per 700mb cdr. Anyway to increase track numbers? My friend somehow can fit 160 on a cdr :?

you are burning wav

he is burning MP3

EDIT
Perhaps I shall elaborate.



If you are using 95-98 you will need a program to burn your mp3’s to cd.



If you are using XP, put in a blank disk, drag the songs you want onto it. Tell it to burn, it will as you what type of cd you want to make.



I think its the second option, data cd…

(can be used in some cd players) or something like that.

im not burning wav, mp3. And i do know how to burn :D. I just dnno how he put 160 tracks on a plain cdr and used a normal cd player.

Lower the quality of the mp3's?

[minimalistik]

nar thats not it but i found out for myself. I usually use the audio format because well its the standard for burning cds for my cd-player. What i didnt know is and i completely unrealised about it is that once the mp3s are burned, they become wav. format. Since this, the sequence of audio format also takes the Min format of the cd and not how much space the cdr has. For placing more tracks, i needed to put it has "Data" format which relies on mbs. But unforuntaely my cd-player is not new as this is a standard feature on new cd-players. :(

I thought you meant as a music cd-rom, oops.

I backup all my cd's and put them as mp3's on a disc. It's great having 6 albums on the one disc.

I think I misunderstood what actually happened, so he has an mp3 (file) cd player, not regular audio cd player?

[minimalistik]

yeh it plays mp3/cdrw format. I think he save the mp3 files as data format and since his player is relatively new, it can pick up that format unlike mine.

You did save the mp3s on data format ay? (probabaly..... )

[Mooey]

Data disc? yeah mate. My dvd player picks them up.

that just summed it up what i was afraid of. Now i have to get a new player and scrap my old one which is still in perfect condition, runs normal but its just old. :(

[radioxromance]

yah, jsut make sure that it says it can play mp3 discs, I think that's what it should say. I gotta get one fer my car... actually want to put a small hd and touch screen in my car that would be su-weet haha. That way I can go through my files on a touchscreen. Most of my friends don't see the coolness of this.

[minimalistik]

lolz i find it cool just that it wont be cool if you dont got the dough for it ;)

[radioxromance]

haha yah I don't really have money for this, I think that's what they don't like, the un-practicalness of it all. They don't get that I have my music ordered pretty meticulously, by band name, some say that that the touchscreen would be overkill or something. I don't know. Do any companys make this sort of thing?

[Mooey]

Touch screen is no good just after eating ya mcdonalds ;)

Greasey fries

[radioxromance]

haha
luckily, I hate Mcdonalds. ;)

My g/f and I went and bought a new cd player for her car not that long ago for the specific purpose of playing MP3 cd's in the car.

And yeah it sucks that they charge so much more them...
