New 6SH updates

[Steve Zane]

First I want to say a big thanks for all of you which gave a song or two to the 6SH CD. We now have 28 songs:-) We still have plenty of space on the CD...still 600 megs.If you already gave a song you can still another one.In fact you can give as much as you want...Original or cover. I want to have lots of songs on it so when you will put it in you CD player , you will have muchos choices. I will do this CD every year.

Zane, you gotta tell me your burn secrets. I can only get at most maybe 18 to 20 tunes on a CD. That's only 56 megs or so, but 80 minutes max music total time, is all it will let me burn to, no matter how many megs .

How do you do it?

I would like to save a few CD's. I go through them in prolific amounts.

[bigdoug]

I think its a mp3 cd master tang.

[bwdavis99]

I'm pretty sure Steve is doing MP'3s for the cd, I think only certain CD players will play it also

I figured it's an mp-3 CD, but it has a limit on how many actual minutes are used.

I use Nero for burning, and I can burn all .wav files on there or all mp-3's, and still have 300 to 600 megs of space left, but use up all 80 minutes of available time.

That equates to about 16 to 20 songs of average length max.

Are there different lengths of playing time on discs maybe?

I have been using TDK CD-R's and it says this one the case

"CD-R 700MB/80MIN"

Maybe I am using the wrong type of disc?

[bigdoug]

are you telling nero to burn a data disc, if you just burn an audio disc it will convert them to wav.

[ZappaFan]

It doesnt burn them to wav on the CD, it will actually convert them to .cda or CD Audio files, which is what you get on a normal purchased music CD.

So there are several methods and types of music CD's and depending upon which options you use to create the CD in Nero will determine which format they will eventually be written to the CD.

To put MP3 files on the CD, you will need to wrie it as a DATA or MP3 CD

To put MP3 file onto a a proper music style CD you need to make sure you have the Audio-CD option as the type of disc you are creating.

[Master Tang]

I think you guys are misunderstanding my question.

I have no problems burning to a CD. None at all.

The question is, Zane, you said you have 600 megs of space left.

A normal 128bit mp-3 goes at about a meg a minute. That means you would have 600 minutes of space left to burn, but the package on the CD cover says you have 80 minutes of music, no matter how many megs are still left available?

Yes, I have about 600 minutes left.

[Master Tang]

Okay, how do you do that?

I can't ever get more than about 20 tunes or so on a CD. 80 minutes.

What's your secret? I would LOVE to be able to have 40 tunes or more on one CD, it would save me a lot of money.

[Father O Blivion]

Surely an extremely low kb rate at conversion would enable that many songs on 1 CD. Dire quality like but on there none the less...
Either that or DVD's are being used to hold the audio...

[Steve Zane]

I'm using "sonic" as a burner. It take the mp3 and burns it on the CD exactly the same way it was.It doesn't convert nothing. If the Mp3 is 3.07 megs , once on the CD it will still be 3.07 megs.
