Itunes help

I know i'm going to get grief for using itunes, but if anyone else can help, it would be appreciated.

I am trying to burn a cd, so i can play songs in the car. I have created a playlist, and transferred the particular album into it.
However, at the botton of the screen, where itunes shows the size/duration etc of the playlist, it shows :
60 tracks (correct)
505mb (about right as far as can tell)
3.9 hrs (well over - have listened to album on ipod - less than this!)

If I try to burn this playlist to a cd, itunes tells me that the playlist is too large, and can only burn the first 18 tracks!

Can anyone help me, as I can't seem to fathom out what is wrong.

    You wont be able to make a music cd that will play in a conventional cd player with more than about 70 mins of music. If your car cd player can play mp3s then just burn your itunes mp3s onto a data cd.

    Is that 550meg of mp3s, which you're trying to burn as audio-cd so it is converting them into .wavs and exceeding the size of the disk?

    It would be very unusual to have 60 actual audio tracks on 1 cd unless they were burned as data..

    When you get the 'burns settings' box make sure that you click on the mp3 option about halfway down.

    choose audio CD if you want to listen to it on a normal CD player (your music has to be less than 77mins to fit on 1 CD)

    or choose MP3 CD if the CD player supports MP3 discs or if you just want to listen to the CD on a computer. (your music has to be under 700MB to fit on one CD)
