: : 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?

: Regards

Sorry. something has misunderstood.
Actually u can record 8khz audio instead of 44.1khz. The audio will have more noise, though the size
of your sound file will be smaller.

Regards.
