There is some overhead lost in formatting the CD. You should be able to get around 670-680mb, unless your CR-RW drive & software are old ones which only recognize the older 640mb standard.

Just depends on compression and length for mp3 and wma. But, if you're making a regular music disc (cda), then it goes by length. 700mb is 80 minutes of music. However, there's extra information on the disc that you don't know about (it's hidden) and cd-writers usually burn a lead-in and a lead-out. If you want to maximize the length, try the program, Nero. You can even overburn it on that program (instead of 80 minutes, it'll be 83 minutes). Overburning is risky as it might cause the disc to be unreadable, but if you want an extra song, sometimes it's worth it. Again, there's a few factors into the length of your cd. The extra information is manufacturer, type of disc, etc. You can't take that off. Also, the older versions of cd-writers didn't support the 700mb (much less the 800mb -which is rare-) disc because there were only 650mb at the time. They found ways to compress it even more and so cd-writers came out to support it.

It all depends on how big the music file is. I can get anywhere from 13-20 songs on 1 disc. If u burn an MP3 disc, u can get about 150-200 songs on 1 disc.

Depends... Are the files compressed? What method of compression and what is the bit-rate of the file?
You can work out a very general average. 1 minute of music to 1 MB of file space. The storage medium will also reserve space for for its filing system.
