Default MP3?

Anyone burn MP3 to a DVD disc? Read that a DVD will hold 5 times the music. Just wondering if it is better for burning lots of songs on 1 DVD vs 5 CDRs.Foe use in the HK Harley Radio. Thanks Doc

You could store a lot of MP3's on a dvd but its going to be just a data DVD, you're not going to be able to use it in anything that doesn't support DVD. So you're not going to be able to use it on the bike.

Yes it will work, but.
The reason that the mp3 files are smaller is because they leave out some ( some will say a lot) of the original sound. But them again, while on a motorcycle you may not be that concerned about sound quality. I know I'm not. I just need something playing or else my brain gets stuck playing the same damn tune for miles on end.

512k mp3 players are now $25 and will hold 120 songs.

/ I wanna go home with the armadilla, good country music from Amerilla and Abaleen, the friendliest peole an the prettiest women you've ever seen................

I have read on other posts, that some of the people here are getting 130 songs or more on a CD. I have the ITunes program and would like to load-burn a CD with a 130 songs, any ideas? Thanks Doc.

Burn the cd as a data cd and it will hold that many songs in mp3 format.

Here is a program that I think you will like. Its called NERO...

I use for just about everything, from burning cd's, to making dvd's in various formats.

http://www.nero-download-2007.com/

It is a pretty simple program to use.
