Burn a DVD (songs) to play on a regular CD player?

Is it possible to Burn a DVD 4.7 Gb...so it can be played on a regular CD player. No problem making a CD (700 mbs) that can be played on a CD player. But, it can only hold about 18 songs. My DVD back-ups contain about 500~600 songs and can only be played on computer (Mp3) but not in my friend's DVD player. Is there anyway this is possible? Even if the number of songs is decreased to (half) 250 or so...is it possible? thanks

I am pretty sure the answer is no, for various reasons. The audio CD standard dates from the early 1980s long before DVDs existed so a CD player won't know what to do with a DVD. Your files are burned onto the DVDs as a data disc but an audio CD is its own format disc. Your files are mp3 format which is not standard CD format and requires a mp3 capable player. Apart from being able to interpret the files I don't think any standard CD player is capable of reading a DVD disc. You may find you could play the files in a television DVD player kind of like you can with a computer's optical drive. but I can't say they aren't set up to only expect video format to be present on a DVD and won't play it either (you'd have to try).
