U obviously mean 43 MB right? 43 KB is a bit small for an entire album or even 1 song for that matter. What burner app R U using? What do U mean U only get about half of it? Have U burnt the cd & listened back to it & 2nd half is blank or something? Did U 1st try to listen to it via an mp3 player on your computer & see whether this 2nd half plays at all?
