You can get hours of music on your computer by using MP3 files. The CD will have to be recorded in the DATA mode, not the MUSIC mode. Ordinary CD .wav files take up about 20-30,000,000 bytes. A .mp3 file of the same music will take up 5-7,0000,000 bytes.   Thus a 700MB (80 minute) CD will hold about 100 songs. The play time rating of a CD is based on the use of the .wav format. One good way to convert your own CDs is to use the utility CDex, which can make just about any conversion you can think of between .wav and .mp3 formats.   You can play these songs on your computer using players like Music Match Juke Box (free as a download on ZDNet). THere are also some new portable CD players that will play the .mp3s and the older .wav format, but I don't know much about them. There are also places where you can download music in .mp3 format. The most famous is Napster, but it has been reduced to rather obscure music. Another is Morpheus, which has a ot of contemporary music and other stuff. Downloading songs may violate some copyright regulations. No user has been posectuted as far as I know. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 4:27 AM Subject: Re: * informant * mp3 jukeBox In a message dated 5/30/01 3:34:42 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: if you are converting your mp3's to cd-audio you will not be able to get more than 74-80 minutes on a cd depending on the cd.  if you just burn the mp3's to a cd and use an mp3 player you can fit 700mb of mp3's on one cd.   Assuming a 4 meg file per song that would be 175 songs with an average run time of 3 minutes per song would be over 8 hours of music on a single cd. Oh, by the way, I have EZ CD Creator Deluxe 4 and it can't perform any magic tricks that I have found. Thanks,how would I get the CD to accept all those files? Is there a special setting? If I did that,then I'd need an MP3 player to play them,correct? ---- * Message Board: http://www.theMezz.com/tech/ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://theMezz.com subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] notDigest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- * Message Board: http://www.theMezz.com/tech/ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://theMezz.com subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] notDigest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?b1dhsJ.b1LEke Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: archive@jab.org T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
