MP3s and file size

by BCRandy Jan 19, 2008 11:00PM PST

I am new to digital music but am moderately computer literate. I want to put music from commercial CDs on a CD in MP3 format. I understand that there is a way to end up with 50+ songs on one CD, but my experiments so far, using Roxio Media Creator 9, have put only 15 to 18 songs on a CD. Can this be done? How do I do it? Do I need different software? Any help would be appreciated. TIA

At 15 to 18 it's clear to me...

That you are making AudioCDs. Try ripping your CDs to MP3 files (I use CDEX) and then make a "single closed data session CD" with your collection of MP3 files. If you click on any box to create any MP3 CD or Music CD then we know you made yet another AudioCD.
