*sigh* The 80 minute CD and the 90 minute cassette.
We all know CD-Rs are 80 minutes MAXIMUM, right? The first ones
were 74 minutes and then they became 80 minutes, as specified in the
"Red Book Standard" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28CD_standard%29
About 5-or-so years ago, that which was known as COMP-USA
at the time came out with these 99 minute CD-Rs.
It is a bit hard to see in this scan, but it's labeled 99 minutes/850 gigs
and mostly (after finding software that would author these beyond 80 minutes)
they work. MOSTLY meaning some older CD players (which a lot
of contemporary CD-Rs are a bit flaky on) and new devices; computers, DVD players etc.
If I could guarantee these would work on anybody's players (which I can't be
sure of because they are out of Red Book spec), I'd author on these all the time for my clients that bring me 90 minute cassettes....
....IF I COULD FIND THEM!!!
