so...
my new ride can play mp3 discs and i've heard that you can get much more music on a disc in mp3 format than the default for itunes (aac?)
anyways. i got a blank disc (80 minutes or 700 mb cd-r) and threw about 559 mb in a playlist then hit the burn button. it said it was too much one cd. would anyone be able to explain this to me. i only have very basic computer knowledge but thought that as 559 mb is less than 700 mb, it would be okay.
also, can anyone explain how i should do it to get more on a disc?
thanks...

I've no idea, but I've had the same thing happen and always wondered about it...

Try burning the mp3s onto the disc as you would a data file bypassing any involvement with itunes. You may not have any directory structure but you might get more songs on it. I do this when making music discs for my dvd player.

No, I don't do itunes. My mp3s are ripped from cds.

okay. i asked a student and turns out it worked. haven't heard it yet so don't know how it'll sound. i'll let y'all know tomorrow.
the way to do it is open itunes (duh), go to edit, then preferences. click on the advanced tab, then the burning tab. then click the box for mp3 cd.
all songs to be put on the disc must be converted to mp3 beforehand.

Thank goodness for the younger generation.

Has anyone tried to buy something on itunes within the last 24 hours? I am having trouble with it. Says it isn't available right now. Is it me or them?
