Title: Burning cd - space problem
Post by: Krunchy on May 29, 2014, 02:33:11 am

Is it normal to have only about 15-20 tracks burned on a 700mb disk?
Those are flac files, but if i understand well, they are converted to mp3.
if it's right, i should be able to burn about 100 files.
Any idea?
Thank you

If you are truly burning a "cd" to play in a cd player then no they are not turned into mp3. on a windows pc they will show up as a .cda file....and 15-20 tracks would fill up a cdr if the tracks averaged 4-5 min each...

maybe what you are thinking of is a data disc that could hold hundreds of mp3 depending on their size...thousands if you were to put them on a dvd....

Agreed and a good summary.

Thanks for your reply.
So if i understand well, you suggest me not to make an 'audio cd' but a 'data cd"? there a bit of a confusion with this naming, my purpose is being audio
In the data cd, the flac will be changed to an mp3, and i'll can read it in an mp3 reader like in a car? That's my aim...
I will try that
Thanks again
