It means 80 minutes of AIFF formatted music; such that you could put the CD into a CD player and hear music coming out. There's no compression on AIFF so it takes up lots of space.
Your 97MB is of compressed mp3's, so the 80 minutes label on the box doesn't apply. Throw as many as you want on there. :) ie) somewhere around 700MB.
