any advice on saving a cwb that is too large for a single cd
is there a logical way to spread the project over two discs? I use Nero 5. thanks!

Some ZIP utilities can split a zip file into chunks.

I used WinZip 8.1 to create a zip file of the bundle file, and then split it into 650MB chunks. WinZip was also able to compress it a few percent.

I would use PPA then burn the project folder onto separate disks.

I was alway under the impression that compressing audio via a Zip program was not a good idea.

I use a DVD burner now-- but before, I used WinRAR with no compression to just span the files.

Why's that? I though it was completely lossless. You may have an increased risk of the file being corrupted though I guess.

I don't like using DVD burner to do , in my opinion , the USB disk can be used to do ,
