I have read how to make a MP3 disc (cd-R) with itunes and I made my first disc today. I only can fit approx 126 files on the disc. I am doing something wrong to only fit 126? What is the Max to fit on a CD?
Thanks
Thanks

It all depends on your compression which correlates to your file size and to the quality of your playback. If you're willing to sacrifice sound quality, you can compress you files more and therefore, have more songs on the disk.
A normal CD-R should fit about 200 songs if they're compressed normally.

It all depends on the length of the mp3 and the bit rate used. I have 112 songs using 563 MB, each mp3 encoded at 192 Kbps. I figure that I can fit in another 20 - 25 more songs. Perhaps you can fit 200 if you're using 128 Kbps bit-rate MP3's.

I just burnt a DVD+R with 110 songs on it, and they are just my most all time favorite song (320kbps). It's just about 1.1GB of space.
It's wise to use DVD double side(?) which can store 8GB of music.

Yes, dual layer DVD discs do work. You can learn more by reading the following:

Can I change the Kbps rate once the songs are in Itunes?
