Hello,
I'm just playing around with my new MD recorder and those funny MDs
themselves. I just noticed that I can record 74:57 minutes on a MD
marked with '74'. I wonder why the people selling those MDs just don't
say it's 75 min MD? Or does the length decrease with the number of
track marks? Or
They cant sell it as 75minute because its not - its 74 minutes 57 seconds -
those 3 seconds count for a lot.

Hello,
I'm just
Actually it's 74m59s, but because each individually recorded track takes
up space in two second clusters, the unused bits left over mean that
only recording in one continuous session allows you to fill all of that
space. Given that on average one second of space will be lost at the
end of each
Gaz wrote a bunch of correct stuff, but then,
