   Re: trying to burn MP3 to CD

   Ok, I had not burned a CD in over a decade so forgot about the   
   "standards."  I was trying to burn the MP3 to CD using audio standards,   
   which was not going to work since it was hours long.  After I began   
   using the "data" option, no longer any oversize issues except I had to   
   go though about 5 CDs before there was a correct burn.  I had some cheap   
   Verbatim ones here, but none of those burned correctly.  It took an old   
   Maxwell with max of 4x speed to get successful results.  It's not that   
   my burner couldn't handle the faster speeds, but I think a lot of these   
   old CDs in storage for many years were bad.   
      
   The purpose was to create a 9 hour "white noise" CD for my wife, who   
   uses the noise when I am away to help her sleep.  We had a white noise   
   generator, but it became defunct so I came up with the idea of a CD to   
   be used in the room's portable stereo.
