    If you make a Data CD, You have 700mb's of space. If each song is 7mb's you would get 100 songs on 1 CD.

    your friend is most likely referring to an mp3 CD. standard audio CD, which contain uncompressed audio, can only hold roughly 80 mins of audio, where as a mp3 CD with compressed audio files can hold 8 to 10 times as much, depending on how much the mp3s are compressed. I can usually fit about 100 to 120 mp3s on a CD. it makes it very convenient for playing in the car (but you need a car receiver that is mp3 compatible.) if you with to convert your audio CDs to mp3, use EAC (exact audio copy). We have a guide here:

    Once you have your mp3s on your computer, just use any burning app like nero to create a data CD with your mp3s on it.
