Frustrated about not being able to put 200 songs on one cd

To fit that many songs on one CD you're going to have to make it a disc that won't play on your normal CD player. Instead, when you pop it into the computer, you'll just see a bunch of files that will be there (and you can listen to), but aren't playable in a CD drive.

Good luck!

It can be done, depending on the length of the songs, as well as the bitrate that you are encoding at. 128kb is the standard encoding bitrate. You can fit a lot onto a cd with 64kb encoding, but it is going to sound terrible. What bitrate are you using, and how many megs over is the cd that you are trying to burn?

I forgot to mention, no normal cd player will play the disc. However, I am assuming that you are going to play the disc in either your DVD player, or MP3 capable cd player.

Lmao, 200 songs on a CD...

Impossible if you want it to play in a CD player, yet possible as a Data CD... and even then, it might fit only 100...

There's no way you can put 200 songs on one cd you should get an iPod for that many

It's very possible like I said, it would have to be shorter songs and at a 64k bitrate.

He never asked if it would sound good, he just said that he was frustrated that he couldn't. I told him how in MP3 format.

Yep, and most CD players in newer cars these days will play MP3 discs. Mine plays MP3 and WMA. I'm not even sure you'd need to go down to 64k. 200 songs at around 3mb each would still fit on a standard 650mb CD-R, even better - use a 700mb CD-R.
Like you said, it depends on the length of the songs and VBR vs CBR encoding, but it's not even close to impossible, as others have suggested.

You can fit a maximum of 180 songs onto a data disc, I have never been able to fit more than that number onto a normal cd disc, however with a dvd disc I was able to put 60 albums of roughly 18 songs each onto a dvd disc, including album covers and song info:):D:)

Sure you can! It depends on the length and bitrate of the songs you have, simple as that. It's nothing more than a data CD with a bunch of data files, which is what MP3 files are. I have a bluegrass music CD with 240 songs on it. The reason is that 128kbps is plenty for bluegrass music because it's all done with acoustic instruments. No percussion. Also, bluegrass songs tend to be very short in length compared to pop songs.

You can but I won't suggest it because the sound quality would be poor and you can't play it in most players
