What exactly is the benefit of having a CD player that has MP3 support?
You can fit about 90 songs onto a CD, where as normally you could only get about 15.
I am so used to my iPod I never really used my CD Burner...but would a CD player that doesnt support MP3 just not play a 700MB normal CD that was maxed out or what?
alright, a normal CD burnt like a CD (in CDA format) can only hold a max of about 18-20 songs... now a normal CD (and by normal I mean 700 MB/80Min) burnt with the files in MP3 compression you are looking at at least 4x as much depending on the quality of the MP3's.... an average MP3 in my computer is about 4.5 MB which makes for a total of aboiut 156 songs on a CD... and a CD player without MP3 playback support will jsut spit the CD back out and say that it can't read it...
So what do I need to use to burn the CD so it's not burnt like a regular CD?
I tried adding all my songs using winamp...and the folder of music I wanted to add is only like 400mb...but I guess the length of the songs is 'too long' so I couldnt... :\
Hmm, do you have Nero? If not, you should be able to just select all the songs you want to put on the CD, then right-click, go to Send To, and select whatever drive your burner is and burn them that way. That should work just fine.
Forgot to post...my Alienware computer came with Nero and it has the MP3 option. Thanks.
with my sony deck it supports dvd mp3.
Maximum of 1,000 songs, or 256 folders.
Makes it really convenient.
Tanner, if you have the songs already ripped as MP3's, then you can just make a "data backup" of sorts of the folder(s) that contain your MP3's. If you burn them as audio, then you are going to run out of space due to the length of the song. As data pnly, the only constraint is the size of the folder(s) you are burning to the CDR.
Think of it like doing a normal CD-R backup of some files, but only with your MP3's.
You can use Nero, just make sure to set it initially as "Data CD"
