: 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?!

Hi!
there's limit that the CD store your song. Actually, the size of .cdr is very close to .wav. For example,
5 min wav file takes about 40M - 50M storage for 16 bit 44100Hz wav file. Thus for a CD, just 650M, u know how many sound u can put in the CD.

It's not possible for u to make a 8-bit CDR. It is because most of the cd player has only 16-bit DAC.
DAC is a chip that turn your digital data in your CD into analog signal. So, you should make a CD with 16 bit.
Furthermore, the more the bit is, the less noise in it, so ,why don't u use 16 bit audio?
