Ok I was woundering if it really is possible to fit like 120 mp3 songs onto one cdr? I have only been able to get like 18 max onto a cd so how the heck do people get 120 on one??????? I can't figure it out. right now i am using cdex and lame to ripp the cds, I usaly ripp at 128k.. so yeah if anyone knows of how to acomplish this please tell me!

Tallguy,

Heh... Ive fitten 328 on one cd... So yes.

holy crap... so do you think you could tell me how you did it???????? please!


tallguy,

cut each song into 4 second segments and you can fit 1110 songs on a cd.

heh, actualy, you burn the mp3s to the cd as a data cd, not an audio cd. that way you can fit 10x more minutes of songs on a cd (12hours). only problem with that not all cd player will be able to play the cd, they have to be mp3 capable. most dvd players and cd player clearly marked "MP3" will be able to play the cd. older cd players may not.

oh ok, so if i right in data mode i can fit more mp3 on one cd!!! thanks a lot. that helps a ton.

tallguy,

yes, because in data mode its writing the raw mp3s. when you create an audio cd, your cd burning program first converts the mp3s to cdas which are ten times larger aka "cd quality" which has a bit of about 1400kbps while your average mp3 is only 128kbps.

so technicaly if you think about it...
a cd has a capacity of 650mb, or 665600kb. so you can fit 4717seconds or 78minutes at a bit rate of 1411kbps. or as mp3s, 52000 seconds, 867 minutes, or 14.5 hours. theres the math behind it

/me bows, then rapes gizzys leg

/me giggles and rapes your buttox

alright,whatever......... anyways, well I did it and i got 126 songs on one cd! all the songs were incded at 220kbps too! so it's pretty good sound quality.. only bad part is that the portable cd player I have in my car happins to not be mp3 compatible! i was so ticked. it dosen't even work that well on my comp i have to make the computer play the songs, it dosen't just start up like most cds. but i guess it's worth it to be able to store that many songs on one cd..

tallguy,

lol all my **** is 128, i dont go higher since more ins't needed heh..

yea, you really wont notice any difference above 128.

yes you do when you have a sourround sound amplifer!

hahahah

lol, yea well, im talking for avg use. pc speakers, car, discman, etc.

Sh****T !!! do u really feel the diff when using good speakers.

I've about 5gigs of MP3s @ 128K and am planning on getting a masssive surround sound system with satellites speakers, subwoofers and stuff.
Psychogen?? Will I get foul sound??
