Ok smart people i need urgent help.

it pisses me off when i find music CD`s with more than 50 track on them yet the CD it self doesnt have big space, something silly like 700 MB CD`s!!

i know how to burn DVD`s and CD`s using media player but i dont know how to fot lots of songs on CD`s, i end up doing a CD with only 11 pr 12 track!!

and i know you can compress mp3 and MPEG audio so they take less space and then you can burn your CD

i just dont know how !!

do you need a program to convert them !! i have no idea

i need someone to go through it step by step with me using easy words , NO COMPLECATED TERMS !! O.K

From A To Z please please please......

Search for a programme called

Switch

it's for both pc and mac and you can really squash large music files into small mp3.

Good luck.

Believe you me, despite being a bloke, am no expert in these matters but thought MP3's were already compressed??????

But as said am no expert, must have misunderstood something. Misunderstand a lot of things.

Mp3 is a format of an audio file. And yes it is in a smaller size.

You just need to convert your songs. I find it much easier downloading the album rather than converting it.

Last time I converted was 9 years ago and used to do it through itunes.

i would use a dvd if it lets you, with mine it does.

or buy one of those radios that let you put a usb

Fig head, your mp3's don't need compressing...all you need to do next time is chose to create a DATA CD rather than an audio one....

well, im doing a favor for a friend , i downloaded all the albums he wanted allready but 12 song CD wouldnt work out, i will need about 100 CD

i know mp3 files doesnt take big space YET you still can compress them and can add up to 100 song a CD !

i will look for switch now and see

use this fig:

but the more you decompress them the more they lose the quality

From what I can understand here, the program you are already using converts your MP3 to a wav file. Do as T_C suggested and burn as a data file. Your MP3's should stay as MP3's then you can get in the region of 80-140 songs on a CD.
