Michael Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/08/03 Posts: 7224 Loc: Foxwoods	You could get maybe 200 average sized MP3s on one CD. If you just want to back up your MP3 files insert a blank CD and drag and drop about 700 MB of files on the CD. Then repeat the process with the next CD until you have all the files burned to CDs.<br><br> _________________________
