It depends on how much you like bass - bass mean bigger grooves, fewer
per disk. Alos depends on how much you dislike noise - faster speed
means better signal to noise, less music.
So, good quality means about 10 minutes per side, shitty quality means
about 30 minutes per side. Best quality means CD at 80 minutes a side. ;)
