The "sound" that mp3 records is part of what is present in typical audio CD. MP3 file records much lesser information from audio source, as compared to audio CD. It discards part of audio which is deemed as "not audible" to human ears.
If you reduce the bit rate for MP3, you would be able to fit in more songs per CD, but at a cost of audio quality.

Tracks on a cd are in wave format (uncomrpessed) and can be very big.
