I need to put 750+ mb of wav's on a CD and it won't fit

I need to burn some CD's that need to have 750+MB's of wavs on them. Obviously not going to fit on a 700MB CD-R.

I have only ancient technology (burning with Windows Media and whatever kind of CD burner that came in the WinXP box I have at work or burning with Toast on my home iMac or something else my XP box and an old purple iOmega 650).

Is there any point in going and buying a trial spindle of high capacity 800MB CD-R's? Should I be looking for an external drive for my XP box instead?

Thoughts and guidance for a newbie on this subject appreciated.

Me too...and here they are...lol

Winrar and Winzip for windows (mac..I'm not sure)

Stuffit for Mac

There are probably more, but these are the ones most heard of. These programs compress your files into a smaller and more manageable size. Have a look see. You might be surprised. :)

Sorry! Wasn't clear.

I need to make AUDIO CDs to play in a regular CD player. The FLAC files in the download(s) I have convert to 750+MB of WAVs per CD. I want to maintain the original structure in terms of disc breaks, but the 750+ chunks are too big for a standard CR-R.

Yes I could compress things, but that isn't what I want to do. Thanks for the input anyway.

80-minute 700MB CD-Rs are "standard" today. The 800MB CD-R discs that are available increase capacity by a number of methods that will prevent them from being played on many audio CD players. Spending the extra money on such discs is probably not worth it because they will not provide reliable playback.

That's a clear enough answer, thanks.

I guess it must be a function of ripping, changing formats, etc., etc., in that what once apparently fit on a CD for general audio playback now no longer fits.

Would that I had originals and could let Toast do disc copy!
