If you are burning audio CDs, no matter what you do, you will only be able to fit about 72 minutes of music on each disc (this varies between different brands of CDs, but 72 is about the minimum, 80 about max). This does not change regardless of the compression. If you really want to make your songs shorter, you can do that by selecting a song then selecting "Get Info" from the "File" menu. Click the "Options" tab at the top of the dialog box that comes up. You will see two text boxes that allow you to change the start and end time of that particular piece of music. Starting your songs later or ending them later will allow them to take up less room on an audio CD. If you are burning mp3 CDs, however, you can use iTunes built-in compression and conversion tool. Read this Apple support document for the step-by-step: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61000 Generally, using a lower bit-rate in the Preferences dialog will give you smaller songs so you can fit more on a disc.
