I am not quite clear as to what you mean when you say he can't use the extra
data. It sounds to me like he is using a regular CD-R burner as apposed to a
CD-RW which allows you to rewrite to the CD , providing that the disk is a
rewriteable, or perhaps the disks themselves are only writeables, meaning
that once recorded on that's it, you can't write on them again, so if he has
an 80 minute CD but only copies 65 minutes worth of stuff, he loses the
other 15 minutes on a regular CD-R disk. If it is a CD-RW disk he would be
able to add more files to it later. If he only has a CD-R burner than he
would only use writeable disks, not rewriteable. If he is recording MP3
files onto the CD then he should only use CD-R disks, regardless of the type
of burner he has, because rewriteable disks are unplayable on a regular
stereo CD player.
