Buying blank CDs

To make audio or MP3 CDs that work in stereo systems, use CD-R blank discs. (Do not use CD-RW discs; they usually work only in computers.) CD-R discs hold about 650 MB of information, and cannot be erased or changed after you've burned the disc.

Using the standard audio format, you can fit about 74 minutes of music, or about 20 songs, on a CD-R disc. Some discs allow 80 minutes (700 MB) of music. Using the MP3 format, you can store over 12 hours of music, or about 150 songs, on a 650 MB CD-R disc.

To buy blank CD-R discs, choose Shop For iTunes Products from the File menu.
