One of the major benefits of a portable MP3 player over a portable
CD player, is not having to take along numerous CDs
wherever you go. By playing both audio and data tracks however, these MP3
CD players completely eradicate that problem. Burning MP3 onto a CD
as a data file (we used Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0), gives you
approximately 650MB of storage on a CD-R instead of the paltry 75
mins of audio usually on a CD. We created MP3 files, encoded at a
rate of 128kbps, using MusicMatch Jukebox. This produced songs with
an average size of 4Mb, which gives you about 170 songs per CD!
