Audio DVD - What's the maximum length?

[DiabloFanatic]

I'm aware that I can burn MP3's onto a dvd as a data disc, but what I would like to do is
copy tracks directly from several cd's to dvd, as an extended play audio collection.
Is this possible, or should I stick with MP3?
Ok. So how many MP3 or WMA can fit on a DVD?

Really, anything you make will be a data DVD with audio file, and anything that will play them will play MP3 or possibly WMA. I don't think there is a public standard for audio on DVD.

You can do the math yourself. Around 650MB is 74 minute for audio, 700 MB 80 minutes.

An audio CD will play in a DVD player, but an audio DVD won't play in a CD player. That leaves a data disc, which has a capacity of 4.38GB for a single layer.

MP3 and WMA files could have significantly different lengths.
Also WMA files are significantly longer than MP3 files, because MP3's are compressed.
Use Windows Explorer to find the sum of the length of those files. Right-click Start>click Explore>navigate the folders to highlight the one(s) that contain your MP3 and WMA files, add their lengths.
The total length (file size sum) should be less than the max capacity of a DVD Disk, which is about 4.7 MB.
