    hi, I downloaded an audio book from freeaudiobooks.com and my audio burner (Nero) will only let me burn about 6 tracks at a time. I have about 50 (~1MB each) that I want to burn so I can listen to them on my car's cd player. however, it would be highly impractical to make 10 cds for one audio book. does anyone know how to avoid this problem? maybe a different CD burning program I can get a trial of would help.

    p.s. they must be burned as a regular CD, my CD player wont play MP3s =[

    need more details, are you using nero express or are you dropping and dragging the audio files over to a new cd compilation??

    r u trying to write the cd as an audio cd or a video cd because i never had any problem like that in nero, u can write as many as audio files at a time (nearly 80 minutes lengthy audio files) but if u r trying to write videos then it is definitely a problem, and then try S/Ws like burn4free, eezywritepro etc.

    sorry, I go to "nero burning rom", then pick audio cd. the problem is because the mp3s are really low quality, and thus each one is not very big. but the length of each mp3 is about 15 min. that’s where the problem comes in. is there any way to disregard the length of the track and burn it by how much data it takes?

    Yeah, I looked at the burner vslayer mentioned as well but immediately looked elsewhere once I saw it included Adware. To me, a failing CD-RW is less annoying than adware, even if I have to go remove it.

    adware?, i got a copy from a friend and just googled for a download of it, didint know there was any adware

    back on topic:
    a cd player reads data as audio, therefore you need to make it an audio CD, there is absolutely no way of making more data fit on a CD without buying 800mb CDs which can damage your burner when writing

    it is not stealing/wrong. you can go to the site if you want. I think the URL is www.audiobooksforfree.com, you can download the exact same thing I did.

    secondly, I am trying to burn it as an audio cd. the problem is that Nero wont let me burn more than 6 of these tracks, because they are 10-15 min long. however the tracks them selves, in mp3 format are only 1-1.5 MB in size. I was wondering if there was some way around this problem so I could put more tracks on one cd. or is there no way for the track to be transferred to a .wav without jumping to 100 times its mp3 format size.

    In an audio cd the question is not about the size of the audio files, but about the lenght of them, i.e., no matter how large the files, you can not burn more than 80 minutes of audio on an audio cd.

    p.s. When putting mp3 in an audio cd, the burning software automagically converts them to wav files, which is the only way to burn an audio cd.

    1. there is no such thing as "burn as a cd-rom",
    it's data cd, audio cd, mixed cd, video cd, etc

    2. cd-rom is the thing in which you put a cd

    It's ISO, a cd image file.
    What about my 3rd question?
    The original poster needs audio tracks. Did you read it at all?

    yes I just put one in my cd player and it does work if you don't believe me try it and see for yourself burn it as a ISO and do not convert the mp3's to anything else but mp3, and as long as your home and car cd player is mp3 compatable it will play i am playing one now

    That's called overburning.
    p.s. that must be some really crappy mp3 quality.
    You can't overburn more than some 20mb without risking damaging your cd burner.

    of course
    and data cd works as well
    ISO is just a middle stage, nothing more,
    but the poster didn't say that his car player supports mp3
