/g/ I want to put a music album on a mini CD. What format/compression

First of all, why?

If you're trying to copy an audio CD onto it, it simply won't work. But, depending on the album, you could probably encode as MP3 and put the MP3 files on there. I doubt FLAC would work, and you might have to go lower than 320 kbps for the MP3s (again, depending on the album).

A mini DVD would give you more storage to work with, but, again, just copying an audio CD onto it won't work, it would have to be WAV/FLAC/MP3/etc. files.

It would also depend on what you want to play it back with. A computer will play anything, but if it's a car stereo system or something like they, they can be pretty damn picky.

Its a part of a gift.

It will be played back by a mini hifi system that reads mp3s, not sure about dvds though.

You just answered your own question.

Highly doubtful about DVD compatibility. The use of a mini will put heavy limits on your storage though. While I think you can write them as standard audio CDs, it'll be crazy short. (24 minutes apparently) MP3 is the it way to make it viable.

FLAC (lossless)
MP3 (lossy)
Apple's AAC codec that comes with iTunes (lossy, superior to mp3)

This.

MP3 at 320 kbps should probably be good enough for most albums. I just went through my music directory and picked a few random complete single-disc albums ripped at 320 kbps, and none of them was larger than the 210 MB a mini CD can hold.

LAME VBR V0

Will be 220kbps, sound great and fit many songs

Are mini bluray disks a thing yet??

The majority of optical drives support minidisk btw.

Then we can get multi layered optical disks and keep compressing layers over the next 10 years.

Good one anon. For a second, I though you were serious.

Why not burn on a regular CD instead of a mini one?

Use v0 if necessary, it's easily the best compromise outside of 320.

Just burn an ep or something
