First, what is it originally recorded as? If it's a wave file not much over 700 MB then you can just burn it as an audio CD with no problem. Keep in mind, compressing it to mp3 then trying to burn an audio CD is a complete waste of time. The mp3 file is decompressed to a wave file (which has now lost its original quality) and you aren't able to squeeze on any more music. However, if you plan to play this CD on an MP3-CD player, you can use a nice encoder like LAME and get well over 80 minutes worth of mp3s on a data CD.
