My 16Gb USB stick holds about 4,000 3min 30 sec music

Enough for me

Ever heard the story of why CDs can hold 74 minutes of audio? This goes to the question of what CD quality actually means (sample rate and bit depth all contribute to the amount of data needing to be stored).

Well it's all Beethoven's fault apparently, more specifically, his 9th (and last) Symphony.

Also, I do a little bit of music production and thought this description of sample rate, bit rate and bit depth might be helpful. They use the acronym DAW, which refers to a Digital Audio Workstation. It's what I use to compose, edit and produce my music. Think of it like a word processor or video editor for sound.

I remember back in the old days when burning to CDR was new and fraught with errors.

I recall using tricks like 'overburn' to squeeze a bit more on.

Those were the days.

I think CDROM-Guide was the first ever forum I joined.
