Can I use DVD recordable disc to record music on?

Question

I have a CD that I would like to create but the only recordable CD's that I find in stores are 80 minutes or 700MB. I need CD's that can store more music. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

mp3 files can expand the time capacity on a regular disc to be closer to 8 hours of music but your player has to be able to play mp3 discs, you could use a DVD disc to burn as a music disc just like a regular music CD, but because its a DVD, you need to run the disc in a DVD player.......your only other option is to simply use the standard discs and burn more than one to get the music you want, in general you can fit 1 or 2 albums worth of music on a standard CD-r disc.

Answer 2

The CD format is limited to that size. You can store more data on a CD by saving mp3 files to it, but you'll need a player that supports the mp3 format in order to play the discs. If you want to fit more then that much sound on a disc that works in a regular CD player, then you are out of luck. Produce a double album instead.

Answer 3

Yes you can do it with no issues.

I recently converted my MP3 music library from 15 CD's to 3 DVD's. The DVD's hold about 1200 average sized MP3's each.

Just select "Data DVD" when you start your burning program. I use Nero and it give me choices of what type of "disk" I want to create. If I select "Music DVD" I can't put as many songs on a single disk. That is why I select "data DVD".

Hope this helps. Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

you can, but it will only play in a DVD player. If you save it as a wave file you get fewer songs. If you save MP3 (they have a converter to convert wave to MP3 on download.com) you get more music.

It really depends on where you wanna play the music. If your car has dvd player I would say it to a regular CD in MP3's and get 700 minutes of music, a DVD disk will get about 4 times as many in MP3 format.

Answer 5

you can use DVD's for data storage like songs, Im just not so sure how well they will play on the DVD compared to the CD.
