blank cds come in defferent sizes, there are the 20 minutes (8 cm mini sized cds) and 74 and 80 minutes.
if you need to play back on a regular cd player that's your limit. And you can have up to 99 tracks as long as you stay below the minute limit.
There are software that can write thighter so you can fit a little more but i doubt regular cd players will play that.
Otherwise your option is with mp3 and the like.
you ca vary the compression ratio but the quality will suffer. At 96 or 128 kbps it's supposed to be at least as good as fm radio. and you are going to be able to fit tens of hours of music at this setting.

This question has two answers, yes and no. Yes, if the CD player that you are using can play MP3s. MP3s are highly compressed, and you can store over 500 songs on a CD if they are MP3s. Your computer will be able to play these MP3s. However, most CD players that are in use today will not play MP3s. For those players, the anwer is no, you cannot get more than 80 minutes of music on the CD, since the player has no decoding technology for anything compressed.

Roughly a good quality song in mp3 has about 4 and 5 MB,and most CD has 700 MB of capacity, so, if you divide 700 by 4 you will have an idea of how many songs you can get in a CD. You can also rip your songs to wma which is a good compressed file. You better off get a portable mp3 player if you want to carry the songs with you. Portable CD players are very bulky.

If your CD player can play MP3s, convert the songs to MP3 format. This will take up a lot less space, and you can fit more songs on a CD. You might lose a little of the frequency range, but unless you have very good music equipment for playback, it probably won't be noticeable.
Most of the "jukebox" programs will do this. Here's a site for a free program of this type:

Write them to CD as MP3 format instead of audio. Most CD players will play .mp3 formats now

You can burn it as a data cd and fit hundreds of songs...unfortunately it requires a special cd player. I think they are now comparable in price to normal cd players.
