the help file says:
Audio CDs. This type of CD plays in most CD players (in your home stereo,
your portable CD player, your car stereo, your computer, and so forth). You
can store up to 80 minutes of content on an audio CD. During burning, the
Player converts your .wma and .mp3 files to the pulse code modulation (PCM)
format that standard CD players can play.

I have a question, thought it may be dumb, but i dont have much cds to use
so i cant experiment to find this out.
Q. I know there is a max size and max time limit for cds but when burning
music, does the file size of the music files matter? the player converts mp3
and wma to PCM... how much spaces does PCM take?
How do you know if your total file size will be too large to burn (other
than already burning it and then finding out some "do not fit" ect).

i hope i explained clearly and i thankyou for your time.

You didn't !

Any CD you want to burn has to be around 72 minutes or 700Mb unless you have
overburning facilities on your burner. As far as I'm aware, you need to use
Nero (the best) to overburn a CD. It doesn't matter if you translate mp3's
or WMA's on to a CD, the important thing is not to pass the leimits of your
raw CD, your burning software and the overbuning capacity of your burner (if
it supports such a thing.
