using MP3 or WMA encoding, one CD-R can hold about 12 or so albums ...

- playable of course via a PC, but also in some modern car CD players, plus also

more & more on modern home stereo machines.  If you're happy to play music

via a modern DVD player through your TV's sound system, which on some

systems can be pretty good what with mutli-channel speakers, then upto

about 80 albums can fit onto a single DVD±R  (navigate on-screen).
