If yes, it says 120 mins/ 4.7GB does that mean i can put 120 minutes worth of songs on it?

EDIT: you WILL, however, be able to play them via DVD player.

Also, you won't be able to erase the disc.

Yes, you can, but you won't be able to play it in a CD player.

If you want to burn MUSIC, and especially if you want it for playback, you're going to want DVD-R. It's set up for media vs. data.

Either one can work, in theory, but if you want ACTUAL playback, vs. just storage or backups, DVD-R is not the way to go.

Links to help you out:

DVD+R
^KEY PHRASE in this one: "DVD+R discs are suited to applications such as nonvolatile data storage, audio, or video."

Writable DVDs Info

Hope this helps!

Edit: For typing error, 3rd paragraph should have been DVD-R, not +R.

You could, but it only be like burning data onto it.
I've never tried doing that and playing it in a dvd player before O.o

It works.

However, pure uncompressed music can only be burned to a CD.  Only this will be read by a CD player.

A DVD isn't simply a "big CD".  The two disc formats only share common functionality when storing music in the aforementioned compressed formats.

The compression method will allow you to store far more music on a CD than traditional audio-burning would, but the sound quality would be vastly reduced and a traditional CD player wouldn't be able to read it.

They lie so much. 70 mb gets you about 40-50 min of music. Do the math for gigs. If you burn it as a data disc, you might be able to pull it off.

---

Lol.  On a dvd-r disc when they say 120 mins they mean Video, not audio.  Yeah you can put a lot of music on a dvd.

You'll be able to burn digitally-encoded music files, such as MP3, WMA, M4A etc to a DVD and a CD.

Good point, I forgot to mention that.

A writable CD would be an option as well.

Is it possible to burn music to a blank DVD+R ?

If yes, it says 120 mins/ 4.7GB does that mean i can put 120 minutes worth of songs on it?

The 120 minutes refers to the length of standard definition MPEG-2 video that can be stored on the disc.  It has nothing to do with audio.
