So, I set WMP11 to burn at 128K and pressed the Start Burn button. Lo and behold, WMP11 does allow you to specify the bit rate of files burned to CD. My next step was to try the latest version of Windows Media Player, WMP11. In my test, I was able to get 86 tracks (from a much larger playlist) on a single CD at 320K bit rate using iTUNES. So since my stored files are all 320K, iTUNES burns them to CD in 320K. I can not find any setting in iTUNES that allows me to specify the bit rate for the files to be burned to CD. I’d rather use a 128K or 160K bitrate and be able to get a larger number of songs on a single CD. In fact, I installed iTUNES on my PC, scanned my MP3 library, and successfully created an MP3 CD as described.īut here’s the rub while 320K bit rate is great for home audio use, in my opinion it’s overkill for use in the Cayman. My goal of course is to create data CDs for the Cayman (either MP3 or WMA) and get as many tracks as possible on a single CD without sacrificing too much audio quality.įrom reading previous posts, I understand how to use iTUNES to create an MP3 CD with tracks organized into folders by album. The Cayman S we have on order will have PCM which I know supports MP3 files and, based on the posts that I have read, it also support WMA files. To date, I have been using Windows Media Player 10 (WMP10) to rip my CDs and manage my MP3 library. This configuration was set up in support of our Sonos Digital Music System which we use at our home. While the information I obtained from those threads was very enlightening, I still have some remaining questions.īackground: My entire CD library has been ripped to 320kbps bit rate MP3 files and stored on a 250GB Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit. First, let me state that before creating this new thread, I used the search feature extensively and read a voluminous number of posts regarding PCM and MP3 files.
