Audio Music on DVD-R
A while back, I posted a question about software that would allow one to burn audio music (WAV file and NOT mp3) onto DVD-R. Such a feat would let you archive 5 or 6 CDs in quality sound on one DVD-R. A few fellow collectors voiced similar sentiment and were equally inquisitive. Others provided answers in the form of cryptic messages without any helpful revelation whatsoever. I did my own research and here are the results. No big SECRET to anybody!
Apollo Audio DVD Creator
Audio Audio DVD Audio Creator by Goland
They both offer free 30-day crippled trial version and both cost $40. I tried both versions and ended up with the Apollo software and it turned out to be the best $40-investment I have ever made this year. It was easy to use and I burned five Alexandre Desplat onto one DVD-R and still had 1/3 of the capacity unused on the disc.
The sound is in LPCM format and nitpicking on the sampling rate aside (48 vs 44.1), it sounds pretty darn good and uncompressed (like those mp3 clips) to me.
So there you have it, fellow collectors! BURN ON :)

I've been creating a music library on this laptop since yesterday. So when it's all finished and I decide to take a trip to the Nevada desert I can bring along several thousand recordings without needing a camel to cart the goods.

Why do you need to archive 5 or 6 CDs on one DVD-R??????? I have hundreds of factory
pressed original CD's that I trust a thousand times more than a home burned DVD-R. I'm a bit
puzzled as the whole exercise seems utterly pointless.

delerue thanks for the tip!... Glad you took the initiative to look into it and share your info with us. I'll look into it.
couvee...
The original cd's would not be thrown in the garbage. Instead they would be used less.
Personally, I'm interested in putting together a lot of double cd's like ''The Wind And The Lion'', ''The Changeling", etc. on one DVD-R or many scores by the same composer or even making a really long compilation album without being restricted to the 80 minutes of a CD-R.
Yes I know I can use an iPod... that will be done whenever I decide to get one.
Right now I'm content with my tiny weensy MPIO. :- )

There actually are CD-R discs that can hold up to 99 min. however they are tricky to burn and there's no guarantee of compatibility since they are technically out of specs for the CD-R format.

So why mess around with the "tricky" 99-minute CD-R when you can whip up to 6 hours of CD-quality music on a DVD-R using the software mentioned above :)

No reason, just giving options. I myself have been putting 15-18 albums on 1 DVD using lossless compression (Monkey's Audio). You can't play these files on a DVD player (only on a computer with WinAmp or Foobar or something) but at least you save space and don't change any of the bits.

I am still baffled !!!! Why store 99 minutes of music on a CD-R that might be tricky to burn and incompatible with standard players or store "up to 16 CDs" on a DVD-R that will NOT play on a DVD player ?
I am a newbie with no computer skill nor expertise and just want to share what I found that worked with other newbies with similar interest. Finding ways to cram loads of data into a disc that is not compatible nor playable on my DVD player is not an option for me.
Thanks for the demonstration of technical know-how's and prowess but I'll stick with my primitive way using Apollo Audio DVD Creator :)
