Sorry, I should have said car doesn't play MP3. If it did, I could simply burn it as MP3 file, which would take just 5mb of the 700 or so MB on a typical CD, which means I could put close to 100 lectures. But since I don't have an MP3 capable radio, as it is, one whole lecture would take an entire CD, even thought the actual file is only 5 mb. Any other ideas?

1 - Burn as a data file - this is where the actual 5MB MP3 file is placed on the CD. Unless your car stereo can play MP3 files you will not be able to play it from the CD. However - you are using up 5MB of your 700MB capacity.

2 - Burn as an audio file - this is where the actual audio content is placed on the CD. So 60 minutes from a 80 minute capacity CD leave you with 20 minutes left.

SO the first thing I would check was whether my car stereo can play native MP3.
