This isn't really about anything interactive, but since there's been
some discussion of CD roms here, this isn't such an inappropriate question.
What exactly is the capacity of a standard size CD, both in bytes and
in playing time for music (assuming a standard speed)? I've been
wondering this since I have this feeling that music CD's are quite
wasteful of space. Some of them may have only about a half an hour's
worth of music, whereas others have almost an hour. Some have 9 songs
and some have 25 songs. Is there a limit to the number of "tracks"
that they can have?
Thanks,

Presently there is insufficient evidence to conclude that tribbles spread AIDS.
