Default Copying MP3 file to 2 CDs

I have an MP3 file of 57Mb (a radio programme in which I took part)
and I want to put it on to a CD that I can play on a domestic player.
I normally use Nero for this but the file is so big that it will need
at least 2CDs when it is converted to .cda format. Please anyone, how
can I arrange it so that the programme will span over several CDs
asking me to put in a new CD when one is full?

It's not the size of the file that matters, but the running time of the
recording. Since a standard CDR will hold 80 minutes of audio it would be an
exceptional radio programme that needed more than one CD.

If you really do need to spread it over two CDs then you need an audio
editor. There is one included as part of the Nero suite (Nero WaveEditor),
though I normally use Cool Edit. Use the editor to cut the programme into
two, and save each part as a .wav file. Then use Nero "Burning Rom" to burn
each to a separate CD.

Or, better still, use the editor to cut out the irrelevant bits from the
programme so that it will all fit onto one CD.
