Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many songs can I burn on a CD?

Most CD Burners only support the creation of normal audio CDs. However, Audio Data Music CD Burner can create both normal audio CDs and data CDs.

When creating an audio CD, most people will be able to add about 13 – 20 songs per CD. The main limit is that a CD can only hold 74 or 80 minutes of audio. Burning an 80-minute CD-R requires that your CD-Recorder hardware supports it.

For Data CD, you can fit hundreds of songs in a single disc. If you have a collection of MP3 files with an average of 5 MB each, you can fit 130 of them in one single 650 MB disc!

2. Once I burn a CD, can I burn more songs on it later?

Yes and No.

If you are burning data CDs, you can always make addition/update to the CD as long as the disc has not been closed. Please refer to the "Creating Multi-Session Disc" for more info.

Audio discs are recorded in TAO (Track-at-Once) recording mode and always closes the CD at the end of the burning process. You should have all your sings arranged before burning. TAO is supported by almost every CDR on the market.

3. What type of blank media should I use to create a CD?

If you want it to be usable on any standard home or car stereo, you should use a blank CD-R disc. You can use CD-RW, but they are only supported on some of the more modern audio CD players.

4. I got a message telling me that I have exceeded the CD capacity. I know the disc is new or has enough empty space.

Please press the 'Reread CD' button to recalculate the disc empty space. Please note that the software allocates 1 minute for the time needed to separate each track. So If you have a 74 minutes CD, the software only allows you to use up to 73 minutes of recording time.

5. The software is unable to read a playlist file. Why?

Your playlist file is probably corrupted. Try to recreate a new playlist.
