How many mp3s can you fit on a CD?

(Is it 9?)

Doing a compilation CD that needs to last a long time.

Should I use a DVD instead?

- Depends on the size of the tracks obviously, which depends on the bit rate (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Oct 14, 16:10:11
  - oh - how do I know what bit rate they are? (n/m) (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Oct 14, 16:12:23
    - Standard ones you've ripped from your cd, should be about 192kb (General Chat) - pants, Oct 14, 16:17:21

- about 11 hours worth i think (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Oct 14, 16:02:21
  - But if a song, on average, is 3 mins - then 100 songs = 300 mins which is only 5 hours' (General Chat) - malkybarkid, Oct 14, 16:03:47
- 100 odd (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 14, 15:54:44
- erm go on the basis of 4mb per song. so 700 divided by 4 (General Chat) - pants, Oct 14, 15:53:46
  - MP3's are normally about 7 or 8mb these days. (General Chat) - lurd, Oct 14, 15:57:58
