Hello, Tony, What the person who did the encoding did was set the bit rate to 32; that is the reason they got 50 hours of material on one CD in mp3 form. I encode all the time, and do this for talking books, which is just someone reading a book anyway. Of course, for music, a much higher rate is preferable, so I do my music in 128 to 192. Above and the mp3 files would be much too big. I mp3 classical and pop music so this is understandable. Hope I have answered your query. Anytime someone puts around 50 hours of stuff on a CD, they have used the smallest bit rate setting.

I am a bunch of mp3's on my hard drive and I've got nero 5.5 as my rom burner. A friend of mine gave me a disk with about 50 hours worth of stuff on it. I wonder if this compilation was made with a different type of cd. I know you can store all kinds of material on a dvd rom but this wasn't one of those. What type of blank media is that and can nero work with it? I'm going to be stripping this computer soon and installing win2k on it. Thanks for helping in advance guys and dolls.
