Well due to my newly rediscovered ability to burn CDs(my burner software made me coasters galore them miraculously recovered recently!) I decided to create a 10 Vol Power Metal compilation. So in those moments when you want something thats a mix of songs, you can just reach for a particular Vol that takes your fancy. I could have burned them all as mp3s as my DVD player reads mp3s and also the sound is very good as its hooked up to the stereo, but I decided to make them as normal CDs so that I could play them elsewhere as well. Plus I would have a collector's 10 disk set hoho!
here are the tracks for Vol 1:
1.White Skull - Tales of the North
2.Falconer -Lord of the blacksmiths
3.Hammerfall - Let the hammerfall
4.Brainstoirm - Arena
5.Crimson Glory - Red Sharks
6.Kamelot - New allegiance
7.Luca Turilli - Rider of the astral fire
8.Domine - The ship of the lost souls
9.Virgin Steele - Through blood and fire
10.Lost Horizon - Denial of Fate
11.Rhapsody - Eternal glory
12.Running Wild - Bad to the bone
13.Savatage - Hall of the mountain king
14.Sonata Arctica - 8th Commandment
and now a tech question about burning CDs:
How come that an 700Mb CD-r supposedly has 80 min worth of time on it but when I fill the CD it reaches 700Mb but the time is only say 69 or 70 min as in the above compilation. So how can they say 80 min as I can never get 80 min worth of stuff on there! One more thing before I rip the mp3s from my CDs, I encode them as 128k mp3s and then Musicmatch uses the mp3s to burn normal audio CDs from them. The reason I do this because I am trying to squeeze as much time as possible out of the CD-r and I'm not too worried about the loss of quality. The question is if I just created a wav file straight from the CD and burnt that on to the CD-r surely I would get even less on it before the space ran out once again! Nowhere near the 80 min I think!! Maybe its down to the software Iam using I don't know. I tried Nero but made coasters galore. Adaptec Easy CD Creator has mixed results for me.At the moment i have had good success with musicmatch and I will stick with it as of the last 4 or 5 CDs I've burnt all have been successful. With Easy CD creator its a bit hit and miss.How do you guys burn CDs?
