I have a multi-part question regarding mp3 files. What I would like to do is
take my own music CDs and turn some of the songs into mp3 files that could
then be burned to a CDR for use on my computer. I have done a google search
but am unclear if I can accomplish this feat. My theory is that if each mp3
song is about 5 - 10 MB, I should be able to store ~60 to 120 songs on each
CD. But the software I have seen all seems to want to convert the mp3 file
back to a wav file to store on the CD. This would seem to contradict the
reason the song was ripped from CD to mp3 conversion in the first place. So,
here are the specific questions I hope to get some help and clarification:

1 - Is is possible to store the mp3 on a CD and then play them on the
computer?
2 - If so, what software is required (Both to create the mp3 and to store to
a cd)?
3 - How many songs could I expect to store on a single CDR?
4 - Any pitfalls I should be aware of to make this process go smoothly?

Thanks for any advice,

Jim
