I bought this solfware called MP3 Maker. I am able to converse all my CD songs into MP3 format. But when I try to burn it to my CD-R disc (700MB) to will only hold about 13 songs.
I thought MP3 song are only 4-5 MB each so I should be able to burn over a 100 songs to one disc.
What am I doing wrong ? Solfware ? Different CD-R disc. ? Thanks for any help.

 

Sounds like the program is converting the mp3s back to regular audio cd format. Check to see if there is a option to burn as data files. If not and you are using WinXP, you can just drag and drop mp3s to your burner in the windows file explorer to burn them.

 

Burn as a "Data Disk" not a music disk.

 

So the CD-R disc I got is correct then ? How do u tell it to burn as "data disc" ?

 

Get nero so much easier.

 

Just insert the disk into the drive, then open up the D: drive (or whatever your writing drive is called). Then open up your music folder. Simply copy and paste from one location to the other. When complete, on the left side of the D: (RW Drive) there will be a little thing you can click on that says "Write these files to CD." Click that and you are set to write it as a data disc.

Cool. I've been having the same problem. I'll try the cut and paste method. -subscribed-

question?

will the cd play as a music cd?

or,

is it strictly storage media?

thanks.

This works perfectly. If you right-click on your disk writing drive there is a selection to "write to disk". Windows XP then asks if you want an audio cd or Data cd. Select "data cd".

As a test, I then opened Windows Media Player and played what I had just recorded. Worked fine. I can load up a bunch of compilation disks for my wife's new Alpine deck in her truck.

Thanks for putting this up for the digitally challenged. Another case of Windows maiking it so simple you wouldn't think of it.

 

Are you playing these on your stock S2000 headunits?
