>>>Ok, what is the difference? I have 105mb of MP3 files. How come I can put over 700mb of files if I don't do them as songs? What's the difference? Why is about the minutes? Shouldn't it be about the size of the files?

>Ahhh, so if I just direct-copy the MP3 files, will they not be recognized when put into a CD player? They have to be converted first?
Exactly. You can either store the files compressed (i.e., leave them as MP3), in which case only MP3 players can handle them, but not older CD players.
Or, uncompress the files, in which case you maintain compatibility - but waste lots of space.
