guys

I have MP3 cd converted but folder size is 1.04 GB How can I fits in 700MB CD rom Is it any other way?

NO - not as a "in specification" audio CD

700 Mb Red Book AUDIO CD is ~ < 80 minutes of 'data'
2 channels of 16 bit sound sampled at 44.1 kHz

I don't understand if you explain me what do I need to do?

You will need to split the MP3's onto 2 CD's....Or resample the Mp3's to make them small enough to fit on a Normal CD. Good Luck...

Any software are you recommended to fit on a Normal CD? I don't mind If I have to pay for tht software

Thanks in advance

You would have to re-encode all you MP3s at about half their current bitrate, and therefore around half (or less) of their current quality. Any MP3 software can do this. Try CDEX with LAME MP3 for a free solution.

Burning to two CDs is a better option

I agree with guns1inger - burning to more than one CD (or better yet, a DVD) would be a better idea. Is there a reason why you don't want to use more than one CD?

What are the current bitrates of the MP3s in the folder? Halving the bitrate will indeed lower the quality... and if they're already at a bitrate like 128k, the quality loss will (most likely) be quite noticeable.
