These took a long time to become available. Different suppliers told
different things about them (They would only be sold to OEMs, they will
not be manufactured because of pressure from the record industry). Now
they are available at all computer stores here in Aachen.

Most disk have some more capacity than what the label says. But somewhere
the spiral ends and the leadout has to be a length on the order of 3
seconds, so that normal cd readers are able to read them (data cds). There
was once an article in the german computer magazine C'T, which (windows)
software is able to write the full capacity, which fails, etc.

CD players don't care about leadouts, I think.

But by the way, does somebody know if there are some blank singles
available somewhere?
