PM me if you've got any of em! :-)

Well, what can I say, happened to me once with easy cd creator with a 5 min track. Just change the soft, why don't you try with cdrwin, it's the best.

wots CDRWIN? and how can i get it, some one mentioned it once and said that it was good for puting sets on CD's so i tryed to find it but couldnt, cheers

I'm guessing that at 163MB, it's an mp3. Why don't you convert it to a wave file and try buring that. This way you can also cut it up into two disks (which you will HAVE to do). Even with overburn you can only get a max of 80-85 minutes per cd

170mb and only 117 minutes???? That doesn't sound right.

It depends on the bitrate it was encoded at. I've encoded my sets at 256kbps and a 121min set is 222MB!

Why 222, Isn't 192 good?

Well, yes, 192 is OK but 256 is better. The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality.

If you are recording your own set, and you want to put it onto a CD, there's no reason to actually encode it as an mp3, you'll only lose sound quality. The only reason you would want to encode it as an mp3 is to save space.

The thing to remember with live sets is that it doesn't matter what bitrate the mp3 is incoded with as much as what the source was. Many livesets are from the radio, which equates to about 112kbit quality. It's like polishing a turd - no matter how good you encode it, it's still going to sound just as crappy as the input.

Not really...

It's been said before, but mp3 is a lossy format. As soon as you start encoding anything as an mp3 you immediately lose sound quality, no matter what the original was like, making it even worse than the original.

It's like getting a turd, and forming it into new and disturbing shapes. The lower the bitrate you encode it in, the more horrifying the turd becomes. If you encode it with a high bitrate, OK it's still a turd, but it doesn't smell quite as bad as it could have done.
