mp3's are surprizingly good quality, especially when recorded in stereo at
44kHz.
The quality (to me) is not distinquishable from CD, if you're recorded
well. I've got a CD of 183 MP3 songs, providing over _14_ hours of playing
pleasure.
Unfortunately, the format used in audio CD's that our CD players are not
of high a "density" (ie. the way the songs are written to the CD is not as
efficient). So, we'd not be able to stack 180+ songs on one... but if I'm
wrong, someone please say so, I'd LOVE to have that many to play on my
stereo.
Oh, and to continue on w/ the quality bit: I've got my computer piped
through my stereo amp and at high levels, the MP3's sound excellent.
A good site to search for MP3's to create our 'rocco CD is:

You will love it! :)
Good luck to whoever is organizing this whole thing?? ;-)
