I have a 700mb CD-R here. My HP CD-RW 8200i isn't reading that, so it says it's 679 megs. Whatever..but that's not my problem. I recently downloaded Lateralus, Tool's CD in MP3 format and converted all of the files to a 96kb bitrate. Uncompressed (I'll get back to this in a bit) the files are 675-something MB. Little did I know that my decoder decoded them to 32,000khz. 44,000khz is the standard CD quality. The problem is, the files uncompressed to 44,000 would total up to approx. 885 megs. Can someone help me to understand how they fit all of this data onto a CD in 192kb bitrate form, and still had room for an AutoCD thing?

autocd thing?
I cant remember why right now but i think its to do with mode-types (data mode-1, mode-2 and audio mode etc). the fit over 700mb audio onto a 650mb* CD-R - keeping in mind it's also rated as 74minute, which at cd-quality isn't 650mb!
Im not quite sure what you mean by autocd... - but if your looking @ audio, change the nero indicators to Minutes instead of Mb... it helps un-confuze you :)... and keep Minutes for audio and Mb for Data...
