If i burn a cd, it doesn't give me my full 700mb worth. How do i burn the full 700mb? I heard something about cd files rather than mp3.
use flac?

Do you notice on the CD, it does say 700 mb, but then it also says 80 min. When you burn, you use minutes, not megabytes.
The issue is that you're doing something wrong. Really, there isn't enough information provided to give you a good answer, I mean are you burning mp3 files to a cd and then trying to play them in a cd player that doesn't play cds, or are you burning the cd with the audio in an uncompressed format (which is the usual for cds you buy at the store). I'm guessing the second. Best bet is to look up a tutorial about making mix cds.

Nah.
That's what happens to me when I burn audio discs. What am I missing?

That's if you burn in uncompressed CD audio format (the equivalent of 1411kbps).
If you burn MP3 files you can burn 700mb of them. (You can burn 700mb of CD audio files as well, but I digress)
The standard audio CD format uses uncompressed PCM audio(usualy seen as .wav files on computers) that comes to a good 6-7x the size of a mp3 of the same lengh. Audio CDs will play on any audio CD player, but some newer players(and computers) can also play mp3 files burned onto a CD allowing you to fit a lot more music on a single disc.
The guy above me basically said the same thing but its hard to explain.
Not that hard to explain.
44100Hz × 2 channels (stereo) × 16 bits per channel = 1,411,200 bits per second.
That's why CD audio files are so much larger than 192kbps mp3, for example.
It's also why CDs can have a set time on them. CD audio doesn't use a variable bit rate (or any compression at all) like MP3 does.
Okay, I just assumed since he didn't say mp3 disk he meant it was an uncompressed audio cd. Pepin confused me when he just said 'naw.'
