Not used any of these but it gives you an idea of prices etc

You could convert the tracks to mp3 which should make them smaller then burn to disc as data if your music system plays them.0

Compress the songs ever so slightly with Goldwave?? The loss in quality will be negligible over all the tracks.Back by no demand whatsoever.0

At the risk of being too obvious - will the player handle MP3-encoded tracks?
just what I was thinking :-) I have a hire car at the moment and it plays 'data' cd's with audio tracks, that means up to around 120 TRACKS (I'm not referring to minutes.
I'd personally dump the worst track as already suggested, or try the 'remove 2 seconds at the beginning/end of a track' as is an option with some burning software.

also overburning might damage your CD burner, don't know how true that is but every burning software says it.0

I would love to have a solution to this! I download and have 2 half hour programmes showing (say) 28 minutes. I would love to have some use of the other 20 minutes after burning 2 of them to disc to play in the car.0

Use something like ConvertXtoDVD to convert the 3 programmes to DVD - the quality will be just fine.Everybody is equal; However some are more equal than others.0 -

It may be that they're recording at a high quality, perhaps 192 kbit/s. Using software such as 'Super', you could reduce it down to a listenable 128 kbit/s. Just a thought really. If it's spoken word programme it could be even lower, say 64 kbit/s
Hey manathome, technology can be quite handy can't it :-) Out of interest, you could have got a DVD player that played data DVD's, then you could have had 50 albums on one disc!If someone is worth thanking - click on the 'Thanks' button on their response. It's just a nice thing to do :-)

I've seen DVDs contain 4 hours worth of footage - whether or not the quality is any good or not is debatable!

Ah, perhaps we've stopped talking about audio and the subject has changed to videoIf someone is worth thanking - click on the 'Thanks' button on their response. It's just a nice thing to do :-)
