the AC-3 format is far superior to MP3
a DVD+R holds 6 hours of music on the lowest resolution- no, there is
no wasted disk space- you can look at the finished disk and see it has
burned on it, for the entire diameter of the disk
but the resolution can be turned up and you can fit 1 hour of music on
a DVD+R of very high quality AC-3 music format
MP3's are crap- you may as well play a stereo soundtrack and cut one
channel out, that's how much info is missing
