recording voice files onto CDR disks query

steve888

hello I was wondering what capacity on a disk would be to record my college lectures ( i have recodred these off my creative mp3 player through the microphone)

I have recordeded them as recorded voice files - not MP3 - as I dont need the quality to be brillaint and MP3 takes up more memory on the player. Its just that i have 30 one hour lectures recorded and wanted to save them onto CDR disks which I can play later

~I have a DVD / CD writer but have not used it and so am new to all of this. I understand that I dont need any special sofware to do this and could use the windows XP softeware that I have already to uderatke this

Alsothough I do have softeware called NERO loaded onto the PC
thanks for any help

Once you've got them off the MP3 player on to the PC, you'll be able to right click on one of the files, select properies and it'll tell you how big it is.

The normal CD stores about 700MB

But what format are these voice files - you've said not mp3?
What will you be playing them back on ?

if it is in fact just a low bitrate MP3 - then Nero can convert that to an audio format which could then be played in normal CD player

What will you be playing them back on ?- a cd player

is a WAVE SOUND FORMAT - A LOW BITRATE format?

Thanks Bob for your helpful reply

I will try the nero option assuming that I have low bit rate format??

Err no, which is why MP3 came into being - to give a lower filesize.

Depends entirely on what rating it was set to. If it's set to 44kHz stereo, they're going to be massive files. If they're 11kHz mono, they'll be small.

Basically, assuming the worst and they're 44kHz Stereo, you'll get 70 minutes of audio on a CD.
