Hi Harvey,

If you are sure that the video has been deleted, then the MP3 even at the 
highest rate of 320 KBPS should easily fit onto a CD which is usually about 
700 MB in data format.  The average movie of about 2 hours in audio form 
only at 320 KBPS bit rate shouldn't be any larger than about 200 to 300 MB 
in size--about 1/3 to 1/2 of the space of a data CD. I am wondering if you 
are sure you have the file stripped of its video or not.  With the kind of 
error you are getting (not enough free space) I would think that the video 
has not been removed.  The file would then be many times greater in size and 
thus would not fit on the standard data format CD.

Subject: MP3 question


I have downloaded an MP3 file of a described version of, "The Sound of
Music," which I hope to put on a CD for a friend of mine.  Bare in mind this
is an MP3 file with no video.  I would think even with a file as long as
that movie is that a standard CD should hold it, but when I use Roxio I keep
getting the message that the disc does not have enough space to contain the
file.  I realize that in a standard CD format the disc would not be nearly
long enough, but if you can put multiple albums on one disc in an MP3 format
I think one disc should hold this file.  Windows Media Player does not give
you the option of leaving the file as an MP3 file.  Does anyone have any
software suggestions or any other helpful hints as to how I might accomplish
this, or even whether or not it can be done since I know comparatively
little about digital recording.  Thanks and 73.
Harvey
