141MB won't fit into 700MB
I have a new, blank 700MB (703 to be more exact) CD-R & I was trying to write 141.1MB amount of songs on it from my iTunes & the iTunes said that the CD didn't have enough space. How is that possible?

Thanks, lauraxomichelle, you are correct.
Songs are burned onto CDs in an uncompressed RAW format, so they take up a lot more space. If you want to just store stuff on CDs, you can use the "data" option on your CD burning software, and the songs will stay compressed. If you do that, the CD will still play on computers, but not on CD players.

Burning it as a music CD takes up a lot more space. I don't know the exact technical terms for it. CD-R discs say 700MB, 80 minutes. Basically that means it'll hold 700MB of data, or 80 minutes of music (playable in a CD player). You could still burn 700MB in MP3 files on that disc though. Hopefully that made sense, if not ask theymos this question. He can explain anything computer-related better than anyone else.
