Hello guys,
Have a question about the CD capacity.....
Burned 20 songs onto a CD this morning, that's almost 100MB according to iTunes.
On the CD it says 700MB though.... I thought I could fit many more songs.
How does it work? Can I fit more?
The CD changer in my car can only hold 6 CDs, it would be nice to have lots of songs on each CD.
I'm very new to music burning and all help will be appreciated.
Thank you

If you are burning an *audio CD,* i.e. the kind that can play is a standard CD player, the normal ones hold 80 minutes of music. Disregard the MB on your playlist, because the process of burning an *audio CD* performs an on-the-fly conversion to PCM format, which increases the size substantially. Go by the time of the playlist.
If your car player happens to handle *MP3 CDs*, you can fit many more songs.

Hello,
I wonder what is Max number of MP3 Tracks that can fit onto CD?

Depends on the length/file size of the tracks but a rough 10/1 versus the number of original CDs wouldn't be too far wrong.

It ultimately depends on the file size which basically varies with the length and recorded quality of the MP3 files. For example [I'm just making up these numbers], if you record a 5 minute song @ 128-bps [bits per second], then it's file size could be 5MB. Recoding at 256-bps will result in a 10MB MP3 file. Lastly, recording at 64-bps will give you a 2.5MB MP3 file. Based
on the above made up file sizes, a 700MB CD can hold: a. Roughly 280 5-minute songs @ 64bps. Will sound crappy. For the record, I do not like encoding my music to MP3, they just sound like crap regardless of the bit rate used. I've used OGG Vorbis in the past instead and have switched over to the FLAC format not too long ago.
b. Roughly 140 5-minute songs @ 128bps. I think this is average.
c. Roughly 70 5-minute songs @ 256bps. Slightly better than average sound.

Hello, While a CD maxes out at 800 megs, a DVD will hold 4.7 gigs. Toss out your old CD player and get an inexpensive DVD player and connect it to your receiver with the red and white RCA jacks [ignore the yellow, thats
video]. Now go burn your DVD with over 1300 mp3 files and slip it into your new CD/DVD player. Actually at 128kbps most music rips to a file less than 3.5 megs, at that rate you can put 1342 files on your DVD music disk. I bought a Pioneer unit for under $40 and it works fine. At an average 3 minutes per tune you can get 67 hours of music on a DVD disc.
You may want to burn your mp3 files onto a DVD disk.
