I bought some cheapy blank CD's from the supermarket, the capacity says 700mb, how many average length songs should I be able to burn onto it? I've only done 2 and it says it's full. I've got no idea about mb's. I can get loads of photos on the the same size cd but not music it seems.

thank you for sharing your knowledge

    How big are the files you wrote, if they total less than 700MB, then it is probably because you finalised the disk, leaving most of the capacity unused and unusable.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    You should be able to get 15 - 20 songs on a cd.
