90 minute cd's ....Have you tried em yet?

[%seRge%]

I'm just curious to see what percentage of consumer cd players will have trouble playing these cd's. I've also seen 99 minute cd's as well.
The extra time for a 2 or 3 more songs is tempting, but are the discs stable ?

Any input you could offer would be great.
peace

peace Haven't seen any yet. I still prefer the 80 minute joints. Plus with the ability for many players to play MP3s, what's the use now.

Finding a burning application that can "overburn" or even recognize the 99 minute format is the first challenge. (It's a huge pain to do on the Macintosh). You will have to write to them a bit slower in some cases. Nero (http://www.nero.com) works well.... but you have to be careful with your choice of media. Some will only yield 89:59..... some 98:58. It's random. Compatibility in older players is a litle sketchy, too. Most modern readers (computers, DVD players, CD players from the past 4-5 years) work well. Unfortunately, I found that my trial set didn't work too well in other people's car CD units.

When I mention incompatibilty, I'm onl talking about the portions that extend beyond 80 minutes. Using the CD's for <80 minutes is fine everywhere for some reason. Anyone else have some insight? It's a perfect way for me to get my favorite 90 minute cassettes onto CD.

hmm this is kinda tricky idd - I remember talking about this to someone from a music instruments store and he said that it's not possible to overburn with just any burner. and even so you of course need the right software (nero will do this idd). anyone know which brand of burner will allow this ? gonna buy a new one soon

You can burn for 90 mins with NEro, but most cd players wont recognize the end of the cd anyway.

The idea of a 90 minute cd is great, especially if you are a mobile jock trying to have more music in less space. However, I personally think that a house music mix that runs beyond about 70 minutes is just too much. Just because you CAN put 4 more songs in a mix doesn't neccesarily mean you should. We Americans are especially notorious for being "size queens" (3 hour movies, super sized value meals, and the Ford Excursion come to mind). *disclaimer-not meant to influence others, unless of course you see some importance in the broader symbolism of the 90 minute music CD.
