how are all of your albums in one single file? That sounds quite strange...what software are you using to rip your CDs???

Nevertheless, if you have a DVD Burner it should be pretty easy. First get WinRAR, so you can split your file into two pieces, and then burn each one onto a DVDROM using any burning software like nero

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

forgot to add...if you don't have a DVD burner, and you want to backup the file to CD-R, that will work too, it will just take quite a few do burn. WinRAR has an option to automatically split the file into 700MB chunks so they will fit on CDRs
