How to Make MP3 CDs for a Sony Walkman
MP3 data format is a much compressed version of an MP3 file. In contrast to standard sized MP3s, MP3 data format makes it possible to fit several hundred files onto one disc. Although not every stereo supports this format, it is possible to create MP3 CDs that can play in portable devices such as the Sony Walkman.
