ok i have been reading some people suggesting "the rule of 74" and many other ideas about the limitations of burning a cd for the purposes of djing
i have cd's that hold 700 mb or 80 min
and i try to push it to the 80 min mark despite the wav files i use going over 700mb
i notice no degredation in quality and my cdj has no problems with cueing
so does anybody here know if burning over 700 mb (of file size) but within the 80 min limit cause any problems for the purposes of djing
and i am looking for some kind of objective proof not just a gut feeling as to why your idea is correct... if anybody knows please post
thanks |

If you are burning an audio cd you should be worried about the time, not the file size, for an 80 minute cd anything up to 80 minutes is fine.
If you are burning a data cd THEN you should be worried about the file size.
edit: not sure aboout your rule of 74 stuff its probably because older cd players tend to crap out with 80, 90 and 99 minute cds. The original standard was 74 minutes. |

yeah me too- if you burn it within the CDR's size limit, what's the difference? |

| to be quite honest I dont think you should apply the ´74 rule´, I burn new CDs constantly, pushing the 80 minute mark and I dont experience any difficulties. |

| yeah but i reccomend using ITUNES if you want to burn realy easily, the whole way the Media Player is designed really provides easy options arranging your tracks... check it out and download it if you want at www.apple.com |

| For some odd reason, i only keep 1 track to a disc. That way, i can just put the name of the track on the cd nice and big so that i know, that cd has that track on it. It's easier for me but hey, that is what i do. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!...that will make DJing a whole lot easier since you will feel more comfortable about where your tracks are. but try it, u might like it. |
