My boyfriend had a cd with four complete albums on it. he said his friend made it. his friend said he made the song on windows media player and that the songs were in mp3 format. i have tried and couldn't make a cd like this. n e one here knows how?
Yes but if the total time exceeded 80 mins which is standard than how could it work. Unless the disc is over 80 mins then I cannot see it working unless it is a data cd and therefore you could fit 4 albums on 1 disc.
Your friend made an MP3 disc not an audio disc. If you've ever noticed, an MP3 file for a song is around 3-5 MB. When you make an MP3 disc, you are basically making a data disc with the MP3 files on it to be read by an MP3 CD compatible player. Most new moderatly priced cd players can play them.
If you made a data disk you won't be able to play it in a regular cd player, only on your computer.
The same with an MP3 disk. Make sure that your cd player supports mp3 disks as it won't be worth making one unless you plan to only play it in your PC.
auctorina,
The latest Nero has an MP3 encoder; it's very simple to use and will make the MP3 disks that you are looking for. The GUI is extremely simple as it gives options specifically for producing MP3, Nero Digital, or WMA disks. Also of note there is an MP3PRO plug-in for it that will produce files at about 66% of normal MP3 size. Lastly the Nero Digital is simply fantastic. It uses HEACC (High Efficiency Audio Compression Codec) I put 24 disks onto 1 80 minute CD with no noticeable loss of quality. (yes I said 24 disks) Each disk was about 45 minutes or so, in short there are at least 18 hours of recording on one disk! The downside is that this codec is only supported within Nero for the moment but they plan to have players available within the next year. If you have nice audio setup with your computer then you're good to go.
downloaded Nero and i tested it out. it worked. my bf's friend said he did it with Windows Media Player, though, and it worked. My bf was able to play the cd in his car an instead of skipping through all the songs, he could skip to the next album. can i do this with Nero? i cant do it with windows media player, no matter wut i try. i like Nero a lot, too. it's really good. if i can make it so that we can just skip to the next album instead of through cds i'd buy the full version. thanks for the help so far.
