There was a trick where you could fit hundreds or thousands of songs onto a single disc. I cannot for the life of me remember how. Can someone please enlighten me?

Thank you

On a further note. I saw the announcement about discussing piracy get's you a warning. I just want to say that I just want to make a cd for my car That's it and the tracks I'm using are from my own cds.
 
MP3 files are MUCH smaller than the native CD format, but your car player has to be able to play them.

No trick, you just make a CD-ROM full of MP3 files instead of an actual music CD.
 
You can make an mp3 cd. But you must also then be sure that your player can read mp3 cd's.

The other type is WAV files where you can usually only get 80 minutes on a disk.

*Edit* What he said. ^
 
Yeah I've got a 2006 Pioneer DEH3850 It says it can read that format. I must've been doing it right. The software I'm using must be crap. My software is the factory software called Roxio
 
Only reason I'm asking is because my tweeters distort too much with my Iriver plugged in because it has to go through a fm transmitter A CD would be much better
 
If you're creating an MP3 CD, you just dump the files onto a data disc, rather than trying to create an Audio CD. Also, you need to check whether your deck supports folders.
 
His deck should, I have an older Pioneer DEH 7400 or so, and it supports folders.

Just create folders and drag the respective files into them. The play order is the file name, if you want songs to play in order, be sure to have "01" "02" etc in front of the files so they are in order.

The default Windows XP burner software will do it fine, like Giles said, just create a data disc.
 
Thanks guys yeah I thought that there was a way to fit like 1000 songs, but I must've been dreaming lol can only get like 200 tops
 
It depends on the bitrate you convert your songs to - but you don't really want anything less that 128 kbps, and that will allow you about 100-150 songs, depending on how long the songs are... If it's a CD full of prog rock sampled at 320 kbps you want, you're screwed!
