Which means that the outer grooves are longer, and the wiggles in the vinyl are more spread out, compared with the inner grooves. That's why long (> 40minute) LP's tend to sound shitty on the inner tracks: more wiggles are packed into a shorter linear groove. -- kent.williams@cadsi.com [Kent Williams/CADSI/2651 Crosspark Rd/Coralville IA 52241/(319)626-6700] "It is a good world, generally (and especially when totally ignore detail)." --Darwin Grosse, who did NOT invent Eckankar.
