Answer 1

Not going to happen. The most compressed format on a CD is MP3 format burned as a data disc. You'll get about 120 songs on a CD like that, but won't be able to play them from the CD.

Burn them to a DVD, you'll get more. Or pick up a Gig flash drive.

MP3 is already a compressed format. I dont think you would get much out of trying to compress them again.

make a data disk they hold a lot of mp3s, and if you have an mp3 compatible player it will play the cd
