Hi,
I'd like to record an audio CD(s) with about 50 separate tracks for my students to use when studying braille.
I want it to be able to be played in your standard CD player, just like a music CD.
What program would I need?
Would it all fit on one CD?
Any tips are useful. Thanks in advance.

There is a myriad of cd recording software out there. I've generally used Nero burning rom, it's fairly accessible (or was last time I recorded an audio cd, which is a while ago). There's Roxio and loads of smaller packages out there, just google cd burning rom if you don't want to go with Nero (believe it is a 30 day free trial).
An audio cd holds 74 minutes of audio, given a 3-minute track it'd only be around 24 tracks so for a 50-track colection you should need two, possibly three, if the tracks are regular pop songs (the bit rae of the track does not matter so you can't go by the file size here, you have to go with the length of the audio file).
best of luck
