K3b and mp3 music cd


I'm using Slak 10.2 kernel 2.6.22, KDE 3.4.2 with K3b 1.0.4 . I have all encoders/decoders and plugins built and functioning properly (i.e. MAD,Lame,Sox). I have looked and I haven't found a solution so now the question.

Is there a way to get K3b to burn mp3's to CD so that it will use size ( like when creating data cd 700MB) as the standard instead of time ( 70 minutes; i.e. audio cd)?? Forgive me for using this next line as a comparison since we're linux/ open source users. When using Nero in M$ it gives you the option to burn mp3 CD which uses size of the CD and not time. I like using the mp3 format therefore all my music is in mp3 format. It's just a personal preference.

Thanks for any help!!

Just make a data CD and add the mp3 files to backup.
