Michael1980 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 About 70 sounds right. (LP4). You are loosing quality though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone suggested it should be way more... any idea?THANKS!←Haha, seems like a typical mp3 player era question. To give you an answer: there are basically three modes on a NetMD player, with varying quality. The highest quality (SP) gives you 74 minutes on a disk, the medium quality (LP2) 2 * 74 = 148 min and the lowest quality (LP4) 4 * 74 = 296 minutes (of course, with 80 minute disks different numbers apply).If we consider a song length of about 3,5 minutes (typical for hits that you hear on the radio), then you will be able to fit 84 songs on one 74 min disk, in LP4 mode that is. However LP4 is very low quality, so if you want your songs to sound reasonable I´d suggest you use LP2, which gives you about 42 songs on one disk.I usually move whole albums to MD and than the mean song length is about 4 minutes, which gives you 37 songs on one disk in LP2 mode.But remember, I think it´s better to speak of the number of minutes you get on a disk than the number of songs, that´s just marketing talk.
