Roughly how many mp3 music files can you burn onto a disc?

Assuming they average 3mb each - about 230 - but bitrate and length of song will vary giving a large variation in file size.

700mb on a normal CD. So depends on the size of the song. I think most "singles" are about 5mb, so you should be able to get about 140 on.

Yeh, 5mb is probably a better estimate than my 3mb.

Thanks for the replies

Depends on the size of disc, cd or dvd, also depends on the length of the song and the sample rate.
Most songs tend to be 4mb and dis 700 mb so approx 170 songs.
Size is everything 8)

Ok next question, how do you convert WMA files to mp3 format?

Itunes will do it.

You just need to make sure the chosen format in itunes settings is .mp3 rather than .aac.

Or if you have Nero software for buring DVD/CDs then there's a waveform converter that comes with it.

Another proggy worth looking at is Super converter. It does video as well as audio. I use it to convert avi's to gifs for avatars, to put onto my mobile etc.
