Hi Harvey and Steve,

Steve is right.  If you chose to make this either a music CD or perhaps a 
video CD of some sort than that will not work.  Roxio will look at the 
length of the file and if it sees that it is larger than 80 minutes, it will 
give you that error.  It will try to in some form, imitate the full 
uncompressed length of the original full video.  If you use the data CD 
option when choosing what kind of CD to create, then the MP3 will be treated 
just like an ordinary compressed file and it should easily fit.

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.
