for those who listens to trance or techno should know the songs are usually bigger than 100mb (especially with the live ones). The thing is that a normal CD-R can only fit 80min of music and I really want to fit (and I know there's gotta be a program or a way to do it) the whole 100mb or more song in that one CD. Any suggestions? My cd player doesn't read mp3's so I have to convert the mp3 into wav...

Thanks a bunch!

There's no way to put that much data on a CD that will play in a regular audio CD player. No program or trick can change the fact that a standard CD player expects the data to be in a certain format and that format uses a fixed amount of space for each minute of music. All you can do is get a CD player that will play MP3's.

You are converting 100 MB to 80 minutes. That doesn't quite work there bub. As long as the song is 80 minutes or less and burned as an audio CD, not data CD, it will fit fine.

I'm pretty sure he meant the MP3 file is 100MB, which could easily take up over 800MB when converted to .wav. If the .wav file is 100MB, it would easily fit on any size CD-R. A 100MB .wav file would be approximately 10 minutes of CD-audio format music.
