Hi, I'm brand new to this whole burning cd's and cd-r technology, so I know this question may sound pretty lame but:

When recording actual music files (WMA) to a cd-r is the restriction

a.) 700mb worth of music
b.)80 minutes of music
c.)whichever fills up first?

Thanks a lot, this question has been bugging me for awhile!!

If u are burning them as normal PCM audio tracks wich u can listen with a CD-player then max capacity is 80mins.

If u leave them as compressed audio files ex. MP3 or WMA (windows media audio), u can burn these files 700mb on a 700mb disk. They cannot be played on a regular CD-player but since they take up so little space u can fit hours of music into 700mb disk.
