Knowing that the TL can't read mp3 files, what's the easiest way to burn larger amounts of music onto a single disc that can be played in the TL? I'm talking longer than the 80 minutes a regular CD can hold.

 

if you look for adobemans GUI or script, it can make DVD-A's.

I have over 99 songs on one dvd.

best thing you could do!

 

I make discs using this program to. I make 24bit flac discs and they sound amazing..... well they did before I started having stereo issues.

 

is there a version that works on vista/windows 7

 

^use the script.

its not flashy like the GUI and its not as simple.
but it works for me on win 7

 

If ya had a Mac I would recommend Burn. Makes DVD-a VERY simple. Flac/WAC files ftmfw

 

I use Adobeman's GUI running on Vista Home Premium.

I have something in the neighborhood of 155 tracks across five groups on one of the DVD-As I burned. Essentially you can have up to 99 tracks in each of up to 9 groups (total theoretical maximum of 891 tracks), although you're likely to run out of space on the disc long before you can fit in that many tracks.

The one thing about using groups is that the TL's stereo will not automatically change to the next group on a DVD-A—it will instead change to the next disc. If you think you might not remember when it's time to change the group, it's not a bad idea to put some kind of sound snippet at the end to prompt you. The 23-second Beatles track "Her Majesty" from the end of Abbey Road is a good one for this purpose; the run-out groove noise from the end of Sgt. Pepper would be too if you have it as a separate track (instead of as the end of "A Day in the Life" the way it appears on CD pressings). I've been tempted to make a snippet of Tom Petty's "Hello CD listeners" joke from the Full Moon Fever album and use that. Or the fake radio adverts the Who included on The Who Sell Out could be good ones.

 

Good info thanks guys

 

Anyone know how to make cd with separate folders on iTunes? So I can have say 5 albums on one disc.. I tried and ended up with 100+ songs, but they weren't separated by album(complete waste)... Any info would be great

 

There is no such thing on a "Red Book" CD. The Compact Disc Digital Audio specification doesn't allow for it. The specification also doesn't allow for more than 99 tracks. If you want to burn a disc you can play in your TL, your best bet is probably to burn a DVD-Audio disc with multiple groups. DVD-A uses a different specification from the Compact Disc Digital Audio specs and so will support the multiple groups ("folders" as you call them) with up to 99 tracks per group.

To change between groups on a DVD-A in the TL, hold down "SCAN" and "RPT" on your radio until you hear the beep.
