Harvey,

If Roxio says there's not enough room on the CD, it may be assuming that 
files on an audio CD must be in an uncompressed format.  Maybe you should 
treat the CD as if it were a data CD, at which point the software may allow 
you to do what you want to do.  John's idea of using a lower sampling rate 
will decrease the file size, but it will also lower the quality of the 
sound.
