Why the change in file size is not a difference in how I can put on a cd?

I'm trying to burn audio files to a disc that will play in a cd player.  The size of the files is not that big.  If I just dropped everything on the disk in the form of data files, they would be easily fits on the drive with plenty of room to spare.  BUT when I go through Windows Media Player or I-Tunes to make the drive, it takes 5 discs to fit everything on.  I changed the WMA files into MP3 files, but it remains the same.  Then, I used Windows Media Player to convert the files to a file size reduced.  But it seems not to matter.  There are still 5 discs.

There is obviously something that I don't understand the difference in burning data instead of audio files and the size of the file.  I'd appreciate any help I could get.  Thank you!

======================================
If you notice on your empty CD there are two limitations...
for example I have one here that says... 80 MIN / 700 MB...
(this means time 'or' file size... not both)

If you create a... Audio / music CD... (one that will play in)
most CD players)... the limits are dictated by the duration.
If you see the directory on an Audio CD / music you will be
Notice the files have extensions of the ADC (this is the result
regardless of the format of the source files).

If you create a data CD... for example a MP3 cd which will be
play in a player compatible with MP3 files... the limits
are dictated by the size of the file.

Then you have a player that is MP3... you could
create a data CD with a lot of files unlike Audio

The following article might be worth the drive... it offers information
on the creation of data and Audio CD.

  • Why the reduction in file size drastic in cropped images?

    I cropped just a picture of 9 MB a very SMALL amount and the resulting image was 756 KB. Why? Is this normal?

    What are the dimensions in pixels before and after cropping? The file size is normally determined when you export a copy of the cropped image. It will depend on the settings you choose in the dialog box export for example image size, resolution and jpeg quality unless you export as PSD or by another file format which normally have larger files. In summary, that the file size is not that important as long as the image meets the requirements of your destination ex a picture with a resolution of 72 DPI to average quality compression will be fine for use on sites and blogs while you would need a resolution of 240-300 PPI and of high quality if you were doing an impression.

  • The Lightroom export file size: why it's so small? How can I maximize the picture quality?

    My image file size is much smaller after editing and export through Lightroom. It is impossible to maintain the size of the original file in order to preserve image quality? This small file size will have a negative impact on the prints? Any help is appreciated!

    The file size is not an indicator of picture quality! You are looking at the wrong measure.

    File size is determined by the number of pixels you have, the quality slider in the dialog box export and of a dozen other things, most of which you cannot control.

    Want to watch the number of pixels (width and height) and not the size of the file.

    It is impossible to maintain the size of the original file in order to preserve image quality?

    Not only is impossible, that it is also meaningless (see above)

    This small file size will have a negative impact on the prints?

    Instead look at the size of the file, you must look at the number of pixels of the exported photo (width and height), and this will determine if you get a decent impression. The usual standard is that you need 300 pixels per inch.

  • Why the "games for Windows Marketplace" will not be launched?

    Why the "games for Windows Marketplace" will not be launched? I tried to launch the start screen appears and when you look at the Task Manager, GFWLive.exe and GFWClient.exe show, but after a few seconds the splash screen and the GFW deals disappear and never loads the user interface. I tried to reinstall the client and the .NET Framework, but which has no effect. I also tried a couple of registry cleaners, but still no change.

    OK, finally solved.

    I uninstalled what is called "Windows Live ID Sign - in Assistant", as well as the usual games of .NET, MS for Windows - LIVE and games for Windows Marketplace Client, then ran a registry cleaner (I used CCleaner, which is free) and restarted.
    I then reinstalled GWL from MS. site

  • The decisive TDMS file size when running.

    I have a request where the .tdms file can grow very quickly, due to the amount of stored data - 7 channels of data acquisition in 50 000 samples dry.

    I want to determine when the file has reached about 2 GB and close the .tdms file and create a new one with a different/timestamp name.  I want to break these files due to portability problems.

    It is, how to determine the size of the .tdms file?  When I try to give the Sub - VI "to get the size of the file" the .tdms, a GPIB controller file path must be in error of the charge occurs.  Also, the refnum of the tdms file is not the same as the file refnums, so the Subvi "get file pointer" will not accept the PDM refnums.

    I could probably calculate somehow what is happening in the PDM file, but that seems to be a workaround and will not exact due to the header information.

    You can't get the size directly from the refnum file, but you can probably still get the size another way. Use the file/directory information of the pallet of Advanced File i/o. It takes a path as input, not a refnum. This should give a specific semi file size value, although it will be possible that there is data to cache that has not yet been emptied to the file. Yet, when you talk about the file sizes in the range of 2 GB, it should be close.

    It is roughly the same thing that I look in Windows Explorer as the TDMS file size expands as it is written.

  • To sort the list of files by time not the file name.

    Original title: created the new toolbar on the sort option for changing the taskbar.

    I created a new toolbar on the taskbar, and it is directed to a folder in my network. When I click the new button on the toolbar, it opens subfolders sorted by filemane. Then, open the sufolders with files sorted by filemane.

    I want to sort the list of files per hour not the file name. is it possible to change this?

    Here's what I did.

    I right click on the taskbar - selected toolbars - selected new toolbar - selected the folder on my network.

    When I click the double chevron right the new toolbar button, it opens the files in this folder, and then I select a subfolder and an another subfolder then the individual wave in this final folder files. There are more than 300 wave files in this folder. It sorts thenm by file name which is a randomly assigned file name by the used recording software. I want to sort the files by time instead of file name. is this possible?

  • I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    Windows has no

    I had to spend my PC this morning. Moving it, I decided to implement a new network card. When I reconnected it all the cables, I plugged my USB mouse on another USB port where it had been plugged in before. The computer is more than 7 years old and I've never had a problem with the front Windows Validation. I have a valid license for Windows XP key code, so why the system tells me it is not currently active or real?

    When Windows checks to see if you have moved your copy of Windows to "another computer", among other things, that his focus on the identification of several strands of material in the computer to see if they are different than when Windows was first installed.  I do not remember the list for now, but I remember that the network card is one of the pieces - and IIRC it is 'valuable' higher than others to reach the conclusion.

    You probably other elements has changed over the past seven years and now Windows has decided to have a "new" computer  Assuming that you haven't changed the motherboard - if you had, you would have had this issue at the time wherever you did--your installation is still legal.  Reactivate using your original license key. It should work online, but you will need to call the number that appears in the error message from re - validate.

    You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

    If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

    It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!
