[QUOTE="mountaindreamlife, post: 1302015, member: 213975"] Hi all - as the user name implies, I'm so green, grass is jealous. I was at the apple store recently before our long trip (that I wanted to burn cd's for, and still need), and the "genius" said that if my car will play them, that the AAC (or ACC, I forget which) will hold almost twice as much as if they were MP3's. Not that 8 hours or so of MP3's is a bad thing...! Ok, I load up some music in itunes in a playlist as he showed me, then click burn. I tried it both as an audio cd and as MP3's - and neither one would even handle a simple 66 song test run. Needless to say, if I burned the MP3's on my old PC, I would get between 150 and 170 songs easy on it, but even when I reduced it to about 30 songs, it still told me I needed multiple cd's. What in the world am I doing wrong!? Obviously a trip back to the genius bar would help, but we're traveling thru areas where there are no apple stores at all! Please help? This is a brand new MBP 15", and I'd give other specs if I could remember them. Tell me if there's something specific that I need to let you guys know so you can teach me how to burn! I have something like 14,000 songs in MP3 format, so they're already ready to burn (at least in theory)! Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
