- Say, how about putting a little compression on CDs? Last I had heard there
- was some device made by Sony that used smaller discs that held the same amount
- of music as a normal 5 inch disc. Does anyone know of plans to add
- compression to the standard 5 inch format, and how much might such a disc be
- able to hold?
