Thread: How can i shorten a mp3 set from here so it can fit onto a CD-R?

Hey

Im sure everyone has gone through downloading a really good set only to find that its too long for a CD-R which is 80mins i believe.

Is there any simple free programs that allow you to slice minutes etc off the mp3 set?

Trying to put the Easygroove n Spinback @ enysham free party set on cd but it wont fit :-\ the set is 1:19:56

Anyway thanks

What program are u using to burn it??
Also 80mins is 1hr 20 mins so how come it won't burn??
Should be fine.

Hey

Just using the standard realplayer burn tool mate.

and are you sure you have 80min cdrs?

i'd try using a different burner program (nero for example). personally i think realplayer (and associated programs) are a load of crap....

Indeed - try a different burner

yea its an 80min CD-R

I know real player is flakey, i'll try nero. I think i got some nero stuff on my pc.

I guess the set is pretty close to the 80mins, you think that matters?

Ah sweet, i should of used nero all along. So easy, so much better.

Thanks guyz

I did a test this morning on nero (79mins 40 odd secs) - worked fine.

thanks mate, burned the set now and will be using nero for it now on. :ymhug:
