    No, it's fine, the CD has a capacity of 700MB = 700,000KB = 700,000,000 bytes.

    COMPUTER MEASUREMENT

    The computer measurement is the BYTE made up of 8 bits (electrical pulse or not, 0 or 1). It is denoted by the letter B

    1024 B = 1 Kilo byte
    1024 KB = 1 Mega byte
    1024 MB = 1 Giga byte
    1024 GB = 1 Tera byte

      Hello Andalusa,

      o is written in lowercase to symbolize octet according to the International System of Units (SI) to avoid confusion with the digit 0.
      Since 1998, 1000 o (10 to the power of 3) = 1 Ko, period!
      It’s 1 Kio that equals 1024 o or 2 to the power of 10.
      For more information: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet

    Ah okay, thanks

    but then to burn the music on 700 MB can I put
    maximum 700,000 KB or no?

    that's way too much on the CD-R?

    I went to c/program files/aime p3

    but I can't select the music because there is none in mp3 or wav

    ?

      No, you need to start by converting it with the software (select > launch). Then, you'll find the music in the folder.

    Hello,
    uh, I would like to know, I have a phone and I have 5.6 MB of free memory. So, I want to add some songs, can I? Knowing that my songs are about 999 KB each. Can I or not? Thank you for responding!

      999Ko is 0.999Mo, so yes, you can .....

      false, 1024 bytes = 1 KB /= 1000 bytes
      At a small size, it seems like nothing at all, but with GB, the difference is quite significant

    Well, you execute it, you select the song(s) to convert, then you click on "start", and off you go!

    I did go to selection but I wanted to select from my folders
    and in these recorded music folders there is nothing to select, not even in mp3 or wav

    you probably meant to select from my CDs?
    but I don't want to select from my CDs because I already have my music in my folders on the computer.

    Hi! I’m here for a little information... I bought CDs that hold 700MB and I would like to make some compilation of songs... My songs weigh about, between 3 and 8MB. I would like to know how many can fit on a CD with this weight???
    Thanks in advance for your reply!
    Good continuation to the site!

    Hello, can you explain what MO means?
    What does Ko mean?

    I'm trying to upload a video on Dailymotion to send to my children, thank you.

      Hello labasqueviet81

      Mo = megabyte (equal to 1000 Ko) and Ko = kilobyte. One kilobyte = 1000 bytes. This has been the case since 1998.
      A byte is a unit of measurement in computing.
      Read this article on CCM: http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/sujet 4203 myths 1 kilobyte 1024 bytes
      For more information, read this article: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet

      For the video on Dailymotion, check it out: capturing-a-video-in-streaming. I won’t be able to help you further, I don’t know how it works.

      Sincerely

      So 1MB = 1000KB

    The image I need to put on my blog is 164 kb and the maximum is 1 mb
    it's messing with my head all that

    1. Libelus
       
      Kika, as you saw earlier, 1 MB = 1000 KB.

      If your image does not exceed 1000 KB, that is to say, 1 MB, then you can upload it, and since the size is 164 KB, you can upload it without any doubt.

      To Remember: (I remind you that 10 to the power of 3 = 1000 and that 10 to the power of 6 = 1,000,000)

      1 MB = 1000 KB; that is: 1 MB = 10 to the power of 3 KB; that is: 1 MB = 10 to the power of 6 bytes
      1 KB = 1000 bytes


      In short:
      1 MB = 1,000 KB = 1,000,000 bytes

      It's easy, KB means kilobyte, so it's 1000 times larger than a byte, and MB means megabyte, millions of bytes.

      I hope you understand!!!!

        Well, 130,544 KB = 130.544 GB so it’s okay.. in my opinion, it’s more likely that your internet connection is crap
        For comparison, I have 223 GB + 9.5 GB for a total of 232.5 GB on my PC but my sister, for example, only has two hard drives of 27.9 GB each, totaling 55.8 GB.
        So, I really think your connection is crap, especially since the remaining space and capacity of your hard drive have very little effect on the speed of your computer (once it’s turned on, I mean). What matters the most is the RAM but I don’t know how much you have; mine must be good because my computer runs fast... After that, I don't know. Hoping I’ve clarified things for you, see you later.

        hello :-)

        more precisely, 1MB = 1024KB and 1GB = 1024MB because it works in powers of 2 (2*2*2*2*2*.....*2),

        you can also find another unit (Anglo-Saxon) which is the bit (in French) and the byte (in English) with: 1octet = 8bit .. (which is generally the unit used to calculate internet connection speed, i.e. bandwidth).

        So :
        100 MB = 1 KB
        10 KB = 1 GB
        And what about bytes? What do GB, MB, or KB correspond to ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ,,,,

    You learn the difference between Ko and Mo in sixth grade. It works like centimeters: K=Kilo=1000, M=Mega=1000000, G=Giga=1000000000. Then there's just the unit behind it; here, they are bytes. 1Ko=1000 bytes. Of course, in detail, this actually corresponds to 1024 bytes (as you can see here: 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc.). So the difference is really between the number of units in 100Mo and 100Ko. We always have the same unit, but not the same importance. The confusion lies between a byte, a block, and a byte. Without going into details, a block is roughly equal to a byte, but a byte = 1/8 byte. So 1MB is not equal to 1Mb. This is how internet providers mislead you when they say 20Mb/second, which actually gives about 2.3Mo/second.

    yes it's true 2 KB and I was surprised too
    to see this little 2 KB

    we took it from the CD of what we bought and then we installed it on the computer to take the best songs and group them
    and put them on the CD-R

      To recover music from a CD, it is not enough to copy/paste (otherwise, you end up with a shortcut of a few KB).
      First, you need to "extract" the songs using software (e.g., Nero).
      Then, you can burn a compilation in CD-audio format using burning software (e.g., Nero).
      You can also "encode" them (compression) beforehand in MP3 or WMA format.

      N.B.: Audio CD format -> .CDA
      Format of an extracted file: .WAV (Size: 30-40 MB)
      Format of an MP3 file: .MP3 (Size: 3-4 MB)

      So: 15-20 songs per 700 MB CD in WAV or CDA
      150-200 songs in MP3 or WMA

        Ah yes! Good catch! I didn't understand.

        In that case, it is indeed necessary to encode the tracks in mp3 format:

    HELLO, it's not complicated to write it though!

    Read this: http://www.commentcamarche.net/faq/sujet 4203 myths 1 kilobyte 1024 bytes
    Also read = https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet
    1 KB = 10 to the power of 3 bytes, 1 MB = 10 to the power of 6 bytes (definition by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures).
    So you calculate to get the size of your file in megabytes.
    To help you a bit 1 CD = 700 MB or 700,000 KB.

    If you have time read this interesting discussion: http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich 1921093 difference between mo and mb?entiere#0, especially from message n°18

    See you

    I don't think that the performance of the PC affects the internet connection, but rather the type of connection, whether it's low-speed, high-speed, or very high-speed; it depends on the price of your internet subscription.

    impressive to see such capabilities

    compared to the music we buy on CDs

    ok thanks a lot I could put 100 songs of 2 kb each

    thank you

      Songs of 2KB? I think you are mistaken about the unit; 2KB is already very low for a MIDI sound, let alone an mp3! Rather 2MB, right?

      a 3600kb movie doesn't exist otherwise life would be really nicer.... it must be 3600MB which should be a DVD in principle!!!!
