Hi, I'm new to this board... sorry for the short intro.
I could've sworn I saw a post on this identical question somewhere here on this board, but my searches have been unsuccessful. So...
Does anyone know if the Shaker will play discs burned with tracks still in the WMA format? That is, do I have to re-ripp all these tracks into MP3 format?
Thanks in advance for any help!

A lot of people get 70 - 80 songs on a CD and I can only get 11- 13 MP3's on a CD. What am I doing wrong?

Or on another note, make sure when you burn your mp3's to a CD your doing it as a data disc. Perhaps your choosing audio CD and it is actually converting the MP3's back to CD audio making you able to fit 74 minutes of music regardless of size.

Only thing I can think is your ripping your CDs to mp3's at a super high bit rate. I rip at 192k and with that you can usually estimate around 1 meg per minute in file size, so aprox 600-700 minutes of music per CD. The higher the bitrate the better the quality and more disk space per minute of song.

That is the problem most people run into. You MUST select MP3 CD option to fit many mp3's. Otherwise your software will convert the music files to larger (WAV, I believe) files and create a regular CD like the kind you would buy in the store.
