How to Burn a Music Data Disc

A music data disc can hold much more music than an audio disc. Music data discs allow you to store up to 700MB of data, or about 350 minutes of good-quality music files, whereas music audio discs can only hold a maximum of 80 minutes of audio. You can burn a music data disc using the built-in software on either a Windows or Macintosh computer.
