okay so like a cd is 700mb right, but it can only hold 80 minutes. why is this? 80 minutes is only like 200 mb of music, why can't i put more

There is a difference between an audio CD and a Data CD.

They are encoded differently.

BECAUSE CD'S USE A "LOSSLESS" ENCODING WHICH IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

Because the type of files that CD's have on them are uncompressed.
