TSGL: recommendation

[gcc]

That CDex is a nice (free!) program Ron... thanks for the reco.  So I 
decided to give the mp3 format (burned on cd) a try to see if I could live 
with the compression that Justin and Alan suggested might be a problem for 
me.
CDex did it's job perfectly, converting the wav files to mp3. Problem is, 
that Nero won't burn the mp3 files to my brand new, empty, 700 MB cd-r. I 
get a message that says I don't have enough room on the blank cd to burn the 
files.  Checking the properties of each mp3 file I find that they only total 
to 87.7 MB, so there should be plenty of room on that blank cd. As an aside, 
the wav file that I converted to mp3 was 800 MB, so that sure is a lot of 
compressing!  Anyway, I can't imagine why Nero tells me there's not enough 
room on the blank cd. Any ideas about that?

Thanks
gcc
