Hi Simon, I think you missed my original email where I said I was burning MP3 formatted audio books. So the play time is definitely more then 80minutes. I know the CD player in her car can play MP3 format. In fact the CD I burned the other day equates to about 18 hours play time. One thing, burning MP3 files on to a blank CD with the Mac is way easier then on my old windows machine. It took me about five minutes to work out how to do it.
