Still, if anybody knows WHY the OS "limits" 700 MB CDs as having only 670 MB available (and 650 MB CDs offer approx. 600 or 610 MB - I don't remember the exact figure), I'd LOVE to know.

40MB appears to be reserved for Hybrid formatting. You can get around it by using toast (handy when you have a 699MB file which you can't backup in the Finder!!!)

And I'll agree...get Toast. Honestly, iTunes is good (if you have an iPod and play Mp3s on your harddrive) but I think it sucks for burning CD's. Toast does a better job with that and it also has many other benefits.
i was backing up my hardrive today and i noticed that an 80 disc only had about 670mb of room, i was wondering what was up. also, i must be spacing or forget how to burn cds, but i thought there was somewhere to pick whether you were burning a data or audio cd? does 10.2.3 automatically decide for you. seemed to work ok when i just dragged the fines onto the disc. i have a superdrive
i think i'm losing my mind. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" />
