MP3s...What Am I Not Doing??

May 14, 2006 1:46AM PDT

A friend gave me a great mp3 music mix CD & was somehow able to fit in over 50 songs.
I've got music in my Win. Media Player library in mp3 format, but when *I* make mixes, I can only fit in roughly 14- 16 songs.

What gives??

You should have a choice of Audio or Data cd, choose Data cd or CD Rom[ISO]

I went to my Media Player, went to the Burn page, & clicked on the little icon on the right. Dialog box pops up & I see Recording & Quality tabs.

I clicked on Quality & & I see:

Data Cds:

*Select quality level automatically (recommended)

*Select quality level


Is this where I should be?

Since media player does not make DATA CDs...

You are using the wrong program. Try CDBURNERXP (it's free and you could toss MP3s onto said media.)
