Does size matter when ripping a CD?

I have been downloading quite a few albums/live sets recently and I want to rip them onto cd. I downloaded ISOS 1 yesterday and the time was ok and the file was just over 700mb, but it copied ok. Before I download any more I need to know whether the size of the wav file matters at all. I always check the time first so that not a problem, but if a file is a lot over 700 mb will it matter?

why the hell do you download 700 mb wav files?

No matter what girls tell you size does matter:D
Actually, it doesnt really because the cd is burnt in another format, as long as the tracks you are putting on the cd is less than the cd can hold (74-80 min) you should be fine.

lol! you misunderstood, they're 700mb+ when I've converted the mp3's to wave files in order to make an audio cd out of it.

Size doesn't always matter, it's how you use it.

Size matters in a different perspective

k. sounded pretty strange ;)
k.k.d.
Most CDR software (like Nero, for example) convert from mp3 to uncompressed wav on the fly while recording to cd... :P

So unless you have very old comp or very old software, not sure why you convert to wav first :p
