iTunes says all my songs won't fit on one cd, but it's only 130 mb and the cd holds 700 mb?

Yup, you got the right answers already. When it comes to burning audio CD's, the 700MB means nothing. It is the OTHER number listed on the CD packaging that will matter, which should be 80 minutes. THAT is the amount of audio data that you can put on a standard audio CD formatted disc.

MP3 compression reduces audio CD songs/files to about 10% of their original size. I AM surprised that only 30MB of MP3 files will NOT fit on one audio CD.

Check the length of each song in minutes and seconds (iTunes should tell you that), then get out your calculator and figure out the total time in minutes and seconds for all the songs within that playlist.

The next thing I'd do is get a MUCH better audio CD burning program. Nero is my program of choice for ALL formats (audio, data, video) and all types of discs (CD, DVD).

If all of these songs were originally ON one CD, then they should fit on one CD when burned again. If you have the original ONE CD that these songs originated,then I'd use something like CloneCD to simply copy the original CD to a new one.

Check the total time of all the songs put together. Figure around 4 seconds extra for each song, which is the track gap length.

Cd Size Mb

There are two ways in particular that would concern you with making your cd. These relate to the format in which you wish to burn the music onto the cd.

1st) As an MP3 cd. What you are talking about mp3 relate to data storage and is determine by space not the length of each song. Check to make sure you are trying to burn the song as mp3 disk. Then this would work. If it fails to work download nero or other buring software.

2nd) it burns in a format like a wave or CDA. It is a different form of burining and hold more information. MP3 use algorithim that allow compression by deleted unwanted sounds that you would not hear anyway its complicated dont worry about how it works just think abuot it in terms of cd lengeth. Size does not matter in this format this is how Media player burns. In this case most standards cda disks i think hold about 60mins of music not related to size at all it realtes to the length of each song. In this case dont worry about the 700mb worry abuot the length if each song added together is more then the 60mins allowed then you dont have enough space on the disk. If you wanted to use space you have to make sure you are burning as an mp3. Please email if you have any more questions relating to this. I recommend you download nero and use that as it is pretty easy. Please email for any more info regards jacob

i had the same problem - for me it was down to the fact that some audio files in itunes become strangely corrupted when i moved my library and since downloaded several versions of itunes over the years. Lots of songs in my library had the very endings of songs cut-off (in this case the offending song doesn t play-through the last 2 seconds). I deleted it out of my library then re-ripped it from CD and then added it again and the playlist burnt fine. I think itunes couldn t determine the length of the song correctly so it defaulted to telling me the whole playlist was too long.

yes because you are creating an audio cd,

if you are creating a data cd it may works

but an audio cd with fits 15-18 songs only depending on the sizes

The CD could not be blank. So try putting a new one in. Hopefully this helps...

Its changing the format from MP3 which is small files to that other sort that CD's have which is big.

truly it converts them to hint tracks, no longer laptop records. How lots area a music music takes relies upon on the music - it truly is a little extra beneficial than the report or a bargain extra beneficial than the report.

quite it converts them to music tracks, no longer pc records. How lots area a music song takes relies upon on the music - it must be slightly greater advantageous than the report or a good purchase greater advantageous than the report.
