But I do know that the Nero program has a feature called JukeDisc, in which one can store as much as 700 MB.  I have put the complete Beethoven 32 piano sonatas onto one CD, for a total of537 min 41 sec, with a total MP3 size of just over 500MB.  I have also been able to put 213 Caruso recordings onto a single CD for over 700 minutes. How does Nero do that, if not by some sort of compression?

Again, we've been through this. What you have on those CD-ROMs is MP3 
files; suitable hardware will play them much as it would play a 
conventional audio CD (CD-DA). As you note, that permits you to store 
more than 80 minutes of audio on a CD-R which for CD-DA would hold on 80 
minutes.

Understood!
