On the other hand, using just 45 minutes on the CD will leave a good marginal area that is unrecorded on both CDs, so they will not mind writing of readable information. ----- one good reply is that the squeezing is 12.5%, while the range of the varispeed only is -12.0%. Oh, well, almost there. - my first contribution for 2008, thinking out loud (a lot of you do on this list, you know!) Kind regards, George
