CD burning problem

I'm trying to burn a cd but its about 5minutes overtime. Is there a program I can download that will overburn it or a program that will compress the mp3's more so they fit?

Nero will overburn but it warns you that it is dangerous in so much that the CD might be unreadable and if I remember right they will not guarantee that it won't damage your writer.

Ya that's right, they do mention too that most CD's go over 700MB or 80min. Is this 5 min in regular audio cd or mp3/wma. 5 mins needs a lot more room in regular audio than in MP3 or WMA.

Simple - buy a 700mb 80 minute blank CDR. Any modern burner and software can handle those without overburning, and those are just about the only blanks you can buy any more.
