How do you fit more music onto an 80 minute cd? (Something about condensing the mp3's?) I know it can be done, I just never looked into it, and I'm too damn frazzled right now to go researching. Any of ewe wizards wanna clue me in on this the easy way?

TIA

We need more info.......

What do you want to use to play the music?

If its a standard CD player then you have to stay with the
standard format.

If the player reads MP3 files then you can conver then to
MP3's which are about 1/10th the size of an uncompressed
audio track.

Eh-thanks MG--it needs to be able to work in a normal player.

if your looking to add more songs to the cd and it has to play in a normal cd player.... then you have to cut the songs down... in other words, the shorter the song, the more songs you can get on the cd...

Otherwise, replace the cd player with one that will play mp3's as well.. then you wont have to worry about it...

if you are going to leave them as mp3 format. then you can lower the bit rate down some and save more space, you do lose a little quality but not much. i use it to make smaller file sizes in order to put the mp3 on the cell phone. most good mp3's are 128 bit rate or higher, and i dont see much of a loss by putting them down to 64 bit rate. almost cuts the file size in half. you can get a program like advanced mp3 converter to do it real fast. i am sure there are others out there that will also change the bit rate, but i like mp3 converter.

just a thought.

also you could do the overburn, but then you take that chance of doing damage to your drive.

Depending on your burning app you can usually go to the prefs or in some expert mode and enable overburn

Yo T man, you do realize this is a 3 year old post right?
