MP3 to Audio CD, extending play???

**TFS** · 25th May 2003

If I have some MP3 files (Speech) which are long in length (time) but recorded at low quality eg mono and 22Khz, when i burn these files to standard audio CD (ie 80 mins) am I still limited to 80 mins irrespective of whether the files are big or small (ie high or low quality)??

Cheers,

TFS

If you are burning as audio yes, but as mp3 you can have a lot more than 80 mins

i think its cos ur burning it as an audio cd, ie .cda or .wav, to burn the files at current size and length u would need to burn as a data cd and just burn the mp3 files, but this would also mean u can only play them in a mp3 enabled cdplayer/dvdplayer or pc...
