That is an excellent illustration – and the relative sizes really tell the story.

Hi there,
Was not to sure which post was most relevant in this category however; I thought yourself and your readers may be interested in this opensourse project
http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/
It allows you to author (burn) 24bit audio dvd’s each containing up to 9 groups of 99 tracks each.
Hope somebody finds it useful with all these albums to download now…
Regards
George.
