Question

i wanted to buy the cds that i could put like 50 or 60 mp3s, but i was told that you can't buy them, you have to format the cd to do it. how do i format it?

Answer 1

Any normal cd can be used as an mp3 cd, you simply have to change the settings before you burn the cd so that it is burned as an mp3 disc, not an audio cd.

For example, in itunes, this can be done by going to the "edit" tab>
then choosing then "Preferences">
"Advanced">
"Burning">
then choose to have the cd burned as an mp3 disc.

Just so you know, cd's hold 700mb of information, easily over a 100 songs. However, they will only play on cd players or stereos that are capable of playing mp3 discs, make sure you know if your device is able to.

Answer 2

You can 'burn' a MP3 CD using Windows XP, just drag and drop the files onto your CD drive folder. If you're running an earlier version of Windows, Google for CD writing software to do the job for you.

Note that MP3 CDs cannot be read by most normal CD players. Unless the device specifies it can read them, chances are it cannot.

Answer 3

You just burn your CD with the songs in the order that YOU want them to be instead of the way they come off of the original CD's.
