It can’t unless you consider 10 to be a few. A CD can only hold 80 minutes of audio. 15 x 50 min = 750 min / 80 min = 9.375 CD’s (or 10 since you must round up)

Thanks John, I was hoping “that” wasnt the answer..however, is it a possibility to compress the audio files, then add those to a data disk? I understand that the track markers wouldn’t work in this
set up correct? And if its a data disk it would only play on a PC.
I guess I’m just trying to find a way to limit the amount of CD
masters.Even its another format. Any other suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank You. -
[Blayde Stone] ” is it a possibility to compress the audio files, then add those to a data disk?”
Yes, you could compress them to MP3. One minute of MP3 at 128K CD Quality is about 0.98MB. So you could fit 750 minutes into 703MB which means all 15 discs on one 800MB CD.
[Blayde Stone] ” I understand that the track markers wouldn’t work in this set up correct?”
That’s correct for a traditional audio CD player, but an MP3 CD player would play the files as separate selections.
[Blayde Stone] “And if its a data disk it would only play on a PC.”
Yes, or a CD player that supports MP3. This might be the best way to go.
