Complete Beatles collection.. on ONE cd!!

[guyver01]

I have every beatles album on CD... but i got tired of swapping cds...

and a friend of mine does awesome programming...

so i gave him all the cds.. he burned them onto 1!!!! cd... mad flash programming... switch cds with a click.. choose song titles...

this CD is cool!!!

<g> just thought i'd brag!!

 

[warcleric]

in what format? somehow I cant see every beatles album being on one CD in CD-Audio format.

 

[guyver01]

wav format... each album is one giant wave file.. and the program on the cd knows where each song starts...
there are some 14 or so wave files on the cd... each about 60 megs each..

 

[Modeps]

they have that available at all computer shows that ive been to for like 15 bucks.

 

[guyver01]

Intake77 .. get out of here... serious? i thought this was something different.. something original.. guess i was wrong..

 

[Modeps]

heh, yeah man sorry i thought of picking one up myself, but never want to spend the money on a CD when i can just buy hardware!

An entire album in a wav file of only 60 megs?? That's got to be mp3 or wma compression. You sure the file extension is .wav??

An entire album ripped from an audio CD into wav format should be around 600mb in size.

[guyver01]

yup.. wav extensions...

some of the albums are small... 30-40 meg size..

 

[ArkAoss]

what? and it plays in a normal cd player? hmm maybe you could tell me how to do this people? :Q

 

[tontod]

How do you get an album down to 30-40 megs? That's some major compression of .wav files going on there.

 

[guyver01]

Haven't tried playing it in a normal CD player... just my PC CD drive so far... but i'm gonna bring it to work and try it in my car CD player.. i'll let ya know what happens..

As i said tho, my friend does programming, so i'm not sure what he did to the albums.. what compression he used, etc.. but i'll ask

 

[beat mania]

you can rename a mp3 to a wav and it'll still play like mp3.
extension means nothing.

 

[BoberFett]

Maybe it's sampled down to 8 bit, mono, 11Khz.

 

[hoihtah]

gosh... i know that they didn't use all the best recording devises out there...
but why would you ever want to listen to music in low quality?
unless nothing else is available?

 

[iamwiz82]

i would think that the format is not full quality.

No way you can fit *all* the Beatle's albums into 650MBs as vanilla WAVs.
