I'm a little puzzled about some of the technical details also: What size is the hole in the middle? Presumably it has to be large enough to accommodate the 15mm-ish spindle CD players use? Do you get some special adaptor for the smaller spindle on a vinyl turntable? I make a CD to be only just larger than the label area on a conventional modern record.

Re: (313) ANOTHER Mills album (and the future of Music Formats??)
You're not wrong at all Francis - you have to place it on the turntable spindle as close to centered as you can and yes, there's only a small usable area for the music - think it might be about 5 mins worth - the grooves seem very tight but I was suprised by how good it all sounded. You might have difficulty with a semi-automatic turntable that switches off at the end of a side. Not so good for scratching and quick cuts then! cheers Jason On 9 June 2010 11:27, fran...@thatamazingthing.com wrote: I'm a little puzzled about some of the technical details also: What size is the hole in the middle?

Re: (313) ANOTHER Mills album (and the future of Music Formats??)
I had seen the CD-R's you get that look like vinyl (Black underside and a raised groove with a small label on the other side like a mini 45) but never one that actually had music on. £30 - that's the price you pay for the Future I'm afraid :) Jason On 7 June 2010 09:22, Martin Dust mar...@dustscience.com wrote: I've seen these before, aren't they like £30 a pop tho? m On 6 Jun 2010, at 14:12, ja...@iridite.com wrote: It's a CD.

The technology has been around a while, we did some sound design for a console game and the company wanted to do the same thing but bottled it because the price was to high for a give away. Still, glad to see it's been used, although they do kinda make you nervous, will it get stuck? Will it wreck the needle? :) £30 - that's the price you pay for the Future I'm afraid :) I'll wait for the jet-pack :) m
