Page 1 of Burning MP3 audio

I`m not sure this is the right forum for this question but I thought I`d give it a go and ask you guy with you infinite knowledge :o)

My DVD player plays MP3 and I want to burn a disc with MP3 files on it. I`ve made a M3U playlist with 45 tunes. Now I have Nero 5 which supports playlist but when I drag the list over to the burn section in the menu it says theres too much for a disc, as it`s well over 80 minutes in lengh but the size of all the tracks will only come to around 180 MB. I don`t get this, I`m confused can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Cheers peeps.

Nero 5 only supports M3U playlists for audio CDs. When you specify a playlist with MP3s, Nero converts the files and burns them as audio tracks on the disc, which of course can only be 80 minutes in total length.

If you want to create a disc with MP3s, you need to burn it in data CD (ISO 9660) format - in other words, just drag and drop the MP3 files into a new ISO window, then burn.

Yep , just use the wizard and select data, trouble is you can`t add to them later!
Multisession and the DVD only recognises the first session...pain in the arse that!

Cheers guy`s. It`ll be a pain have to select each track from all the different folders!

Whilst this topic is about I`ve got a question.

How do you set the order that MP3 files are written to a CD? I`ve got a portable CD player with MP3, but I seem to end up with tracks playing in the wrong order which is a pain on audio books. I think the player is using the `natural order`, which is what you see if you do an unsorted DIR in DOS.

I`ve been using Easy CD. That does have some sort of file ordering system, but I think it only assigns general priorities to files.

I`ve got the Limit 8080 DVD which also plays MP3, but the only one I`ve tried didn`t work. That may have been because it used VBR.

can u help i burnt about 20 mp3`s onto a disc using Adaptec Easy CD Creator, i burnt it as data but it does not work when i play them on my DVD player which states it can play them all i get is the screaching sound of data, can u please help

What`s your player and what mode did you use to burn them ?

Your player manual should tell you what it supports - mainly ISO9660 Mode 1 in my experience.

just put them all in one folder on your hard drive by dragging them into it and then burn the whole lot via the folder in whatever software you are using.

I had something similar, untill I found out that my DVD player didn`t like variable bit rate. I re-recorded using constant bitrate, and all was OK.
