yes if you change the format to mp3, then you can get lots more than that. or if you dont want mp3 format, then there should be an option on whatever program you are using to burn closer to the edge of the disk. if you turn this on then you should be able to burn a little closer to the edge of the disk. BUT this is not usualluy recommended becuase it has the chance of messing up the cd, and more importantly, your burner. so use this option at your own risk.
