podcasts are not an option for the main source of distribution because you can not play it everywhere. Such as in your car or someone who does not have high speed internet.
I was just looking for a simple way to record a cd and then distribute it to others. It seems to me that there should be a way to do this.

To be fair, a lot of people have MP3 players which they can take everywhere, a lot more people have them than portable CD players. Although I'm assuming you're not dealing with a demographic that is tech-heavy.

If the only practical option is CD, your two options are multiple audio CDs for longer services, or MP3 CDs (but accepting that some people will not be able to play them)... iTunes should work wonderfully for both of these options. There is no third option - no magic way to get an MP3 CD to work in a normal CD player, higher capacity CDs, or way to shove more audio onto the CD.

The only other thing I think you might be able to do is find some double-sided CD-Rs, that way if you need to give someone more than 80 minutes of audio on a standard audio CD, they don't have to keep track of two discs, just flip it over (as will you during the burning process). You might need to buy these online, I don't recall seeing these in many retail outlets.


Keep in mind that the CD was created around the same time as the 3 1/2" floppy disc, albeit for a completely different purpose. Nowadays, the Blu-Ray holds 70+ times the data, and by 2019 we're supposed to have the HVD, which is supposed to hold a Terabyte, or over 1400 times the data of a CD... Although this is kind of irrelevant as far as audio goes.

The highest capacity MP3 players these days can hold roughly two months of audio at average compression, although I have no clue who would need that much for just audio. The only reason CDs still exist is because of how wildly successful they've been, and there is still plenty of demand for real, physical copies of music rather than just digital ones... Although expect that to change too.

Porforis thanks for the info.
You are quite right this is not a demographic group that technologically advanced. It is an older population in which some members still longingly remembers reel to reel and wonder why we can not record and play back in that manner. I also agree that cds is a technology who time is limited. Before buying the new recorders we discussed jumping over cds to a newer technology but decided against it due to a lack of participation amongst the congregation.

Some where along the line of these posts I think you missed my original plight. I can record in mp3. When I record in that format the cd is plenty large enough. I won't need a double sided cd. My problem is for some reason ITunes dose not recognize the cd and won't pull it in so that I can 1. Store in info until I have all 3 services complied. 2. And then put all three onto a cd. I have been told that mp3 is a data file and ITunes will not recognize it. (That came from the recorder's manufacturer.) And that mp3 is an audio file and ITunes has to recognize it. (I have been told that by several others.)

I got an email last night from the pastor's mother. She told me that the church will provide mp3 players for the church members who do not own them so that we won't have to contend with the problem of people having older cd players that are not mp3 payers.
