Re: putting mp3's on a dvd

Hi,
You should be able to put a big pile of mp3 songs on a cd. Simply make a data cd and you should fit around a hundred and fifty songs on the disc. I recently made a friend a bluegrass cd and put 198 songs on it. He has a car sterio that can play that type of cd. Some sterios play them, others do not. Many of the portable cd players play mp3 cd's as well as standard cd's.

Hi, everybody.

I like making compilation CD's of songs from various artists and average about 16 to 17 songs per Audio CD. I also prefer dot wav files, as they don't sound "canned" like MP3 files. Could I put a big pile of songs onto a DVD? Do I require any special hardware or software? Will the finished product play in a home stereo CD player?

Best,
Lou Novath

Do you have to have a DVD burner to use them? I have a CD burner but not a
DVD player or Burner on my computer.
I was thinking since the capacity of the DVD disk is larger that it could be
useful to back up some large folders on to them and remove them from the
computer thus making more space.

Hi,

         Yes, about four and a half gigabytes, or four thousand five
hundred megabytes, as oppposed to 800 megabytes of data on a cd!
