The Red Book specification for CD length is 74 minutes: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid5_gci503642,00.html Any CD longer than that is technically out of spec. Your statement above is exactly backwards--it's CDs longer than 74 minutes that might have problems (although those problems are quite rare). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
