I burn music to cd-r and was able to play it in my car and home stereo. I purchased music from msn and burn it from my play list but this time it won't let me burn it into cd-r or cd-rw. I use the rest of the cd-r when I burn music the first time. Is this possible that I can burn music into the cd-r or cd-rw and the rest of the cd-r doesn't work. What is HighMat audio? what is this for?
I purchased a cd-r that says 700MB, 80minutes but if I selected a drive with Audio CD in WMP I could only burn 17 or less music into the cd-r, if I selected the HighMat Audio I could burn music up to 700 MB but doesn't played in my car or home stereo. Please help, need an explanation. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
1. Read http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq04.html#S4-23
Remember that I do not duplicate FAQ items here. You need to read it.
2. There can be DRM issues. If you buy said tracks, there can be limits to what you can do with them. I find buying CDs to be more friendly to me making a compilation CD of what I want. NO ONE MAY HELP YOU THWART THE DRM RESTRICTIONS HERE and posts on how to vanish. Just FYI...
3. 17. 17 what? You didn't say, but 17 tracks could be just about right.

Standard CD players only handel standard CDs
Most downloaded music is in the form of MP3 file so a standard cd player won't play them. Many newer cd players will play mp3s, but not the older ones.
You would have have to convert the MP3 file to a 44.1kc wavefile then burn it to a CD.
Copyright issues may keep this from working. John
Did you try adding music to a CDR that you had already burned? Generally speaking to get something to play away from your computer, like in your car, you have to close the cd after burning. If it's an eighty minute cdr and you only use thirty minutes you can't add to it after it has been closed. If that's not the case then Bob is right, there is only so much you are allowed to do with online purchased music.
I MAY HAVE STUMBLED ON TO AN ANSWER FOR YOU. WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD MUSIC, DON'T USE THE "DOWNLOAD" BUTTON, USE THE "DOWNLOAD AS..." BUTTON AND IT WILL SAVE TO HARD DRIVE "SAVED FILES". IF YOU DON'T HAVE iTUNES, DOWNLOAD IT AND OPEN "MUSIC". YOU CAN THEN DRAG FROM THE "SAVED FILES" TO THE "MUSIC" FOLDER. ONCE YOU HAVE THE "MUSIC" FOLDER FILLED TO YOUR LIKING, UNCHECK ALL OF THE SONGSAND ONE BY ONE RIGHT CLICK ON THE SONGS ON "CONVERT TO "AAC". THIS MAY BE DONE AUTOMATICALLY. NOW YOU CAN TRANSFER THEM TO A PLAYLIST AND BURN TO DISK. THESES SONGS SHOULD PLAY IN EVERYTHING BUT THE FIRST GENERATION CD PLAYERS. I'VE BEEN FIGHTIONG THIS FOR OVER A MONTH NOW.
TRY THIS AND GET BACK TO ME TO LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT.

for burning audio onto a cd...it must be "uncompressed" for best playback quality...therefore the filesize will be much larger than it is if it were in mp3 or wma format...if you were burning in wma or mp3 format,naturally you would get more music on the disc because the files are "compressed" and the software thats built into the player reads the file and uncompresses it for playback...if your player reads mp3 or wma format you can burn more music onto the disc...
