Measure a cd for gods sake. Its five inches. Thus CD5"

Measure a record (33) its 12" thus EP/LP/SP 12"

Even though everything should be in metric...

alright alright settle down.

just one more question...

why does discogs insist on saying CD5" instead of just CD

they use the term CD5" for cd SINGLES. just CD denotes that it is a full release, an entire album. on a CD5" you will probably find 1-5 remixes of the same track, while on a CD you will find 10+ different songs.

Because CD usually refers to an album. CD5" usually refers to a single. Kind of like how an album on vinyl is LP and a single on vinyl is a 12".

no worries thanks for that

Posted by Serp on Feb-01-2005 12:04:

wouldn't it be because of the 3" versions?

to say just CD means it could be either, and that would be not specific enough for a site like Discogs, so they specifiy that it is CD5"

CD-maxi = CD5 I think

We in Holland mostly have 2 types, the one with radio edit and extended and one with remixes, the last one is CD5
