Probably the 720 minutes where meant as a WAV file 720 minutes long. At 8KHz, this
might be realistic. Beside that: AFAIK, no conventional audio CD player can read more than
70 minutes of music. And what I know for shure: every audio CD player expects the data
at 16 bit, 44100 Hz. This means: to make CD-player-compatible CD, you MUST convert your
WAV files to this rate. If you only want to play it on your computer, leave it a WAV file.

: I record some files at 8khz 16 bit, but when I try to
: put them on CD with Easy CD or any other program, they haev to convert it to 44khz. This takse up a lot of space and I end up with only about 90 minutes of audio....not 720 minutes like the CD says! I was to convert my 8khz wav files into CDA files and then put them on CD's. Is it possible?!
