How to Burn Many Songs to a Single CD

If you're planning a long road trip, you'll want to make CDs with enough songs to keep you entertained for hours. You might also want to make a long mix CD for a friend. Most Audio CDs only have room for about 80 minutes of music, but you can fit more songs onto a CD by burning an MP3 CD instead.

Things You'll Need

• Media Player
• MP3 files
• Blank CD

Instructions

Fit More Songs On a CD

1. Make sure your car, home, or personal CD player supports MP3 CDs.

2. Open your computer's media player and make a playlist of songs to burn onto an MP3 CD.

3. Insert a blank CD and click "Burn Disc."

4. A new window will open with several different options. Select "MP3 CD" and then click "Burn." MP3 CDs can fit over a hundred songs. If you have too many songs in your playlist, however, a window will open telling you that there is not enough room. You can remove some songs or burn the playlist onto multiple CDs.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also make a Data CD that will fit even more songs. Simply select the "Data CD" option before clicking "Burn." However, some CD players will not be able to read Data CDs.
