Marc,
So you burn mp3 tracks as audio rather than data? Doesn't that defeat the main
purpose of mp3s, the reduced size? An average mp3 is about 5 meg, so a 650 meg
CD should be able to store in excess of 100 songs! You lost some of the quality
in the mp3 creation process. You don't get it back by re-encoding the mp3 as
audio. Many newer cd players and dvd players will play mp3 cdr disks directly.
