Let us consider a mp3 song, each 4MB of space. A CD has 700MB of free space out of which it is optimal to store upto 698MB. So 698/4=174.5 songs.

Better to go with 170 songs, but a song doesn't need to be exactly 4MB, it would be better to go with 150 songs.

Thank you. Suneel.

This answer is wrong. How many songs you can fit on a CD is dependent on how many minutes the CD will hold. Most CDs these days hold 80 minutes worth of music (it will say on the CD packaging). So, if you're in iTunes, the bottom of the playlist window will display total time, keep it under 1:18:00 (1 hour and 18 minutes) - CDs don't quite hold what they say they will so you have to keep it under the advertised time.

Both the above answers are correct! The amount of songs a CD holds depends on the size of the files (i.e. the way you burn it). Were you to burn an "MP3 Disc" your CD can hold up around 150-170 files, depending on the size of the files. On the other hand, were you to burn an "Audio CD" you're normally able to burn 18-24 songs (i.e. 80 minutes). Again, this difference occurs because of the way the files are copied onto the disc itself.

Depending on the type of CD, you can fit quite a lot on a disk. An average 256 megabytes will hold about 64 songs, whereas a 4.7 gigabyte disk will hold about 1,203 songs.

What data is often on a CD-R?

cdr can be formatted into an audio CD, data CD or video CD... its the format you choose that determines what you can put onto it. cdr can take almost anything. note, if you just drag mp3 files onto your cdr and burn, it does not make it an audio CD, but data.


What is the difference in CD music and CD-R?

Digital Audio CD-Rs are made specifically for home audio cd recording systems. Most home audio systems have "standalone" CD recorders, not attached to a computer, and they require a CD-R that is made specifically for Digital Audio recorders. Some manufacturers also call them Music Only CD-R or Audio CD-R. These CD-Rs are Digital Audio recorders approved and will work in standalone CD recorders. A Digital Audio CD-R uses a SCMS copy-protection flag in the sub-code section of the CD-R. SCMS is the acronym for Serial Copy Management System. Home audio standalone CD recorders are designed to look for the SCMS flag in the sub-code section before allowing the unit to record. If there is no SCMS flag the recorder will not allow recording and the CD-R will be rejected. If a CD-R is labeled Digital Audio CD-R it has the SCMS flag and will therefore work in standalone home audio CD recorders


What is the difference between CD and DVD audio?

CDs play on two 16 bit 44.1 kHz channels and work on both DVD and CD players. DVD audio (DVD-A) requires a DVD player to work. It uses higher sample rates - up to 24 bit 192 kHz with stereo, but generally uses 24 bit 96 kHz - and can work on anything ranging from mono to 5.1 channels. That is not DVD-V. The difference is in terms of audio quality since the DVD-Audio format has 7 times more storage capacity then a regular CD-Audio. This means that you can actually hear the audio content on a DVD-Audio the best possible way ever since both the sample rate (192kHz) and the bit depth resolution (24bps) are higher then a regular CD-Audio (44.1kHz, 16bps) and would actually exceed the human hearing capability.


How does DVD audio differ from CD audio?

DVD-Audio is a digital format for delivering high-fidelity audio content on a DVD. It is not intended to be a video delivery format and is not the same as video DVDs containing concert films or music videos. It offers many possible configurations of audio channels with far higher audio quality.So DVD-Audio has much more functions than CD audio.DVD audio recordings can provide far better sound quality than CDs. The chart below lists the sampling rate and accuracy for CD recordings and the maximum sampling rate and accuracy for DVD recordings. CDs can hold 74 minutes of music. DVD audio discs can hold 74 minutes of music at their highest quality level, 192kHz/24-bit audio. By lowering either the sampling rate or the accuracy, DVDs can be made to hold more music. A DVD audio disc can store up to two hours of 6-channel, better than CD quality, 96kHz/24-bit music. Lower the specifications further, and a DVD audio disc can hold almost seven hours of CD-quality audio.In an audio CD or DVD, each bit represents a digital command telling the DAC what voltage level to output. While an ideal recording would follow the raw waveform exactly, digital recordings sample the sound at different frequencies, and therefore lose some of the data.


Did the playback of an audio CD use more ststem resources than moving the mouse?

No. Most CD-ROM drives, back when they were introduced, were completely autonomous. Using buttons on the front of the drive, and either the headphone jack or a wire to the sound card, you could play an audio CD without any CPU or RAM being used at all.
