It depends upon whether you want to burn a normal audio cd or an mp3 disk. If you burn an mp3 disk then you're limited as to devices you can play it on. A normal audio cd can hold: (a) 650 MB = 74 min 14 sec or (b) 700 MB = 79 min 54 sec
Keep in mind on a normal audio cd, 1 min takes up just over 10 MB

An mp3 disk can hold as many songs as space allows. eg: If all your songs are exactly or average 4 MB in size then a 700 MB disk could hold 175 songs if burnt in mp3 format.
Is an mp3 disk the same size in diameter as a normal CD disk or is it smaller in physical size ? Sorry for sounding so dumb about this, but this old guy is having a hard time grasping all this new technology. If mp3 disks are the same physical size as a normal CD disk, can I purchase this type of disc, and burn it using the same pc burner I'm using for normal CD's ? This is a very helpful forum, and I appreciate all of you who have posted and have answered my question(s) Thanks LOTR.
