I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but you'll tell me if I need to be somewhere else. I have a cd with mp3s on it along with jpeps. I want to burn the mp3 to another cd so I can listen to them over my boom box. they fit along with oter files on the original cd. 402mb. when I try to burn them to another cd only about one sixth of them will fit. What's going on? I have tried this with WMP, Roxio, and CdBurnerXpPro all with the same results. I have also tried to copy them to the hard drive first. On the Original cd and on the hard drive it states that there is a total of 402 mb. But if I try to burn them to another cd I will need 9 cds. Why are they growing? |

Hello, You are probably trying to burn the MP3s on the CD using something like a "burn as audio cd" feature. This will burn the MP3s as normal audio tracks and not as a MP3 CD. Re-check yoru burn options on your CD burning program and try again. -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User Microsoft Certified Professional http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org Folder customizations http://www.anando.org/folder "caver1" <lblarrabe@columbus.rr.com> wrote in message news:N9kOg.6$8e5.2@tornado.ohiordc.rr.com... > I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but you'll tell me if I > need to be somewhere else. > I have a cd with mp3s on it along with jpeps.

I have tried burning them as non audio and my Boom box will not play them. Every other mp3 that I have burned as audio has played Anando [MS-MVP] wrote: > Hello, > > You are probably trying to burn the MP3s on the CD using something like a > "burn as audio cd" feature.

If you're trying to convert MP3s to audio cds then you'll need that many cds. Audio cds use wav files as tracks which are uncompressed and significantly larger in size than MP3s. If your "boom box" will play MP3s, just copy them to a CD-R as MP3s, but don't try to make an audio cd. Cheers. -- Linux is ready for the desktop! More ready than Windoze XP. |

I am trying to burn them as mp3s. My boom box and stereo play mp3. This is the first time that I have failed. I am not converting them. I have also tried dragging and dropping them with the Sonic DLA(?) straight to the cd burner with the same luck. If I try burning them as anything the sound as if I was lacing a DVD in the CD player.
