    I asked my friend to burn me a CD of some songs, I gave him 2 CDs, I only had like 6 left and needed to save the others because of my brother and sister. The disks doubled as data disks. So he basically made an archive disk, there's about 100 or so mp3's on each disk. I can't find any software to do that.

    you can do that with any burning program. instead of "audio cd," select "data cd." it won't play in anything but a computer, but the music is archived. the file format becomes .cda with an audio cd, and that limits your music-packing abilities. with data, it's just data :D

    as it's with mp3's, if you have an mp3 compatible player, you could also select "create mp3 cd," if your burning software has that option.

    I figured it out, I already had the software, it just messed up on me, I borrowed it from a friend, and I wasn't exactly good at using it yet, but I got it. I had already used it a few times, but I didn't use it to make a data CD yet. It was new to me, I should have just stuck with what I knew, but I'm far too curious to do that.
