Burning music files to CD-R disk

I have a playlist with 22 files, totaling 164.4 MB. Please see the attached screenshot.
When I burn the playlist to a Verbatim CD-R disk using MediaMonkey 5.0.5.2695, MM burns only 12 files to the disk. If the CD-R disk can hold 650 MB of data and the playlist is 164.4 MB, why did MM only burn 12 music files to the disk?

Did you burn a data disc or an audio disc, Im assuming audio disc, 700MB discs can only hold 80minutes of audio.

MediaMonkey can only Burn an Audio CD which is measured in Minutes not MB as eluded to above.

It seems that MM arbitrarily selected to burn 80 minutes of music files without giving the user the option to choose. That seems odd, or am I missing something?

No, it's normal as you're burning an Audio CD and audio CD's are limited in Minutes not MB. You're looking to burn a Data CD (ie. MP3s on a CD) and MediaMonkey can't do that.

Hi,
As @lowlander said in post MM can only Record Audio CDs which is 74min. of uncompressed audio (650MB) or 80min of uncompressed audio (700MB).
